considering they're 18x8.5 (or 18x10) and 19x10 (or 19x12) (OR 20x12!) with really high offsets....hell no.

you all didn't read. he said he would use adapters.
but in the end that'd only compound the problem of them not fitting.

To the OP some regal dude had gunmetal C5 Z06 wheels on a black regal gs for years let me see if I can dig up some pics.
Compond the problem how Ohhh MrWheelGod????
seems to me this has already been done let me chase down some pics and yes of course the Z06 wheels on the Regal used adapters.....

you know he posted ZR1 wheels, right? you're talking about dean's regal that had some skinny vette wheels on it.
once again, chasing me around trying to prove me wrong when you can't. learn to read.

Zr1 wheels are skinny on the front guy and the OP hasnt listed how wide of wheels, just the ZR1 style. Do you have any clue how many OE replica companies make ZR1 look a likes????
Seems to me YOUR the one that doesnt pay attention and needs to RRRRRREEEEEEAAAAADDDDD!!!

the 18x8.5 wheels have a +56mm offset.
with a bolt on adapter of a MINIMUM of 15mm (which would require to shave the stock studs down) it would give you a wheel with 18x8.5 +41mm. will that fit with a normal tire? you betcha.
even with a bolt on adapter of 25mm (might not have to shave stock studs down) it would give you a 18x8.5 +31mm which is starting to push it for a 'normal' fitment.
if that was the case i'd say go for it, but the MINIMUM size of a 19" ZR1 wheel is 19x10, which will absolutely not fit with an adapter no matter what you want to do. MOVE ALONG.

What if I cut my fenders and add some flares?

Then of course it will fit

As far as the lug pattern problem, perhaps it would be a better route to use an aftermarket hub with the correct lug pattern, or slots for multiple lug patterns, if such a thing is available on our platform.
11-21-2014
the real way to go about this is to use the STYLE of the ZR1 wheel and find an aftermarket version of it in the correct size and bolt pattern for the car.
however, that wasn't brought up anywhere in here.

Because doing things right doesn't happen in the WBody community.
