Unfortunately, I don't think so. For most GM RWD applications, there
was two sets of bolt patterns - IIRC 4.75" and 5" spacing. I believe
your car is the 4.75 which is common with most of the RWD cars except
wagons. Unfortunately (again) used Camaros and Corvettes are probably
not that common over there and I'd say otherwise it's pretty much a GM
of North America pre-80's car type bolt pattern.

Even if the bolt pattern matches, you still have to worry about offset.
You'd probably be best off getting a set of cheap steel wheels from a
tire place. (They're available in Canada for about $40.)

Or look on Ebay. Seriously - take one of your wheels off and measure the
bolt pattern and backspacing - you might find a nice used set of stock
Camaro 15" wheels that match up.
