I own a 1999 Tahoe. A friend of mine gave me his factory 2010 camaro SS wheels. What kind of spacers/adapters would I need to make these fit my 5 lug Tahoe?

 

Most guys are running the 1.75" or 2" spacer(5x5 to 4.75) to use the camaro wheel on these old body style 5x5 lug patterns. I think they look sharp on the obs stuff

 

I've heard some horror stories about running spacers or adapters. Like people losing wheels while driving and ball joints wearing out fast.

 

Just buy quality spacers and install them properly. Torque 'em down with a good torque wrench and recheck. You'll need a helper to hold the brake solid while you torque the fronts, obviously. Wouldn't hurt to pull the wheels a few hundred miles later and re-torque the adapters just to be sure.

Any wheels you choose that go too far off zero offset can contribute to suspension part and wheel bearing wear; it's not the fault of the spacers.
