You are looking at less than 1/8" difference. This may or may not even affect clearance.
But is it also possible that they are not measuring the same thing?
My Western Wheels have a raised lip along the inside edge. I've seen where people either consider or don't consider this lip in their measurements.

That .12" may make a difference when dealing with the close wheel well confines of early Vettes.
Or if they are the same rims, then they may lose customers, if people like me don't like numbers that don't match what the manufacturer says they should be (I would think that AR knows how to measure their own rims).

If they are truly selling the same rims, then the specs should match.

Are you planning on keeping those wheels and caps on the car? Are those are hubcaps or wire wheels?

There will be a set of Torq Thrust's on there real soon along with some Radial TA's!
Those are actual GM hub caps thou, but from the 70's, from a monte or impala I believe.
