To keep the wheel centered in the wheel well, using an 8 inch wheel, you would want 4.75 BS. That would keep the offset the same.

YH is 4.25 BS on a 15x7.

The only way to know for certain would be put them on, or find someone who has the same offset 8 inch wheel on a Camaro.
Thank you Sir for the reply....Looking at them for the Back. Looking at a set of 15X6 from another member for the front. So the 4 3/4 bolt pattern they have is not an issue?

4.75 is correct for Chevy from that time period. 4.5 would be Ford and most Mopar back in the day.

I thought that back spacing sounded familiar. While I was down at my shop, I measured backspacing on the AZ wheels from my 1970 LT-1.
Same as the ones you are looking at (3 3/4). They are also an 8 inch wide wheel. So, if you can find a friend with a C3 Corvette, you could try the wheels on the back of your Camaro.

I am thinking those were likely made specifically for C3. Doesn't mean they won't fit your car.
