Default Will they fit?

I have a 99 frc and I put some different wheels on. I have a friend with a 77 vette that would like the wheels I took off my 99. They are 18 by 9.5 front and 18 by 10.5 rears. Will he have to use wheel spacers to use the wheels off my C5 or will they fit? Any info will be great!

They should fit, but you need spacers. There are a few C3ers with C5 wheels who can tell you exactly what you need, maybe they'll see this thread now that I bumped it to the top for ya.

... I went with 1 1/2 inch spacers in the front instead of the 2 1/2's that I am now using in the rear. No problems with caliper clearance or turning interference. Plus, it looks much cleaner without all of that spacer showing behind the ZO6 rims.
