What would need to be done to make these wheels fit?

I know nothing about wheels and tire fitment but what would need to be done to make 2012 camaro wheels fit a 1979 Monte Carlo stock suspension http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-CHEVROLET-CA ... 1216039729 ?

YOU WILL DEFENITLY NEED A VARY LARGE SPACER ADAPER TO PUT THESE ON . BETWEEN THE PRICE OF BOLT ON ADAPTERS AND THE 900 FOR THE WHEELS IT SEEMS LIKE MORE TROUBLE THEN IT IS WORTH. YOUR FRONT STEERING GEOMETRY WILL BE ALL MESSED UP . BETTER OFF PICKING UP A PROPER MADE SET OF AFTERMARKET WHEELS AND TIRES.

Thanks for the info where is the best place to look for a wheel that's this style and will fit my monte?

CAN TRY LOOKING AT TSW WHEELS. PROBLEM WITH G BODIES IS THE BACKSPACING. IT IS HARD TO FIND A FLUSH FACE RIM THAT CORRECTLY FITS. WHAT I MEANT WAS FIND A CORRESCT FITTING WHEEL IN A DIFFERENT STYLE THAT CORRECTLY FITS THE CAR.

I'm new here but have a lot of wheel and tire experience. Adapters can be brought for about $140 (good set) not cheap copy. That will compensate for the offset difference. And shouldn't have troubles with rubbing. Have ran several sets on multiple cars over the years without a problem. I think it's a good alternative IMO.

I might find a local car place that carry adapters and a rim with these specs to see how the fit... I live close to a big city so there has to be someone that would help me!

The spacers would be huge, that's the problem
