Default S10 wheels

Anyone know if the spoke alloy wheels on the Chevy S10 have enough offset to fit on a C3 and clear the brake calipers? The wheels have a stylized spoke with the bowtie in the center cap. Kinda like the Crager SS and the Mustang spoke wheels of the muscle car era. Thought the S10 wheel with the bowtie might look good on a Stingray vette.

I don't know if this helps, but I saw a C3 in Eureka Springs last year that had a set of S10 Extreme wheels on it. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what they came off of, but I'm positive that's what they were. I didn't notice if they had adapters on or anything like that.

Do yourself a favor and don't put S10 wheels on a corvette.
Save your $$ and buy something nice that belongs on the car. Or pop for a nice set of rally's w/nice white letter tires.

If the calipers hit, that's all I need to know. I won't use adapters. I have a nice set of Rallys on the car now, painted to match the body paint with GM center caps and trim rings. They're good looking; I was just curious because the S10 rim is kinda retro and looks 60-70s era.
