Default Need help with C3 Rims

I have a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette. I have been looking for some Rally rims for it. I found a set on craigslist that are Rally Rims off a 1970 Chevy nova. The size tire is 225-75-15 with 5 holed rim. Are these rims able to fit on my corvette? Are they the same style that a corvette should have on them? Are all the Rally rims the same from GM in those years? Here is a picture of the craigslist post to help

Would appreciate the help before I go out buying these,

Thank you

Hi Brandon,
Welcome First Post!
The Corvette rally wheels were 7" wide for the 68 model year and 8" wide for 69+.
The wheels are stamped with information indicating when they were made and at what Kelsey Hayes plant.
They also had a 2 letter stamp which identifies their application. The 8" wide, 15" wheels, were stamped 'AZ'.
I suggest you try to check that information before buying the wheels in the pictures.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

The bolt pattern and the back spacing is what you need to find out. Maybe google what it was for those vehicles. It maybe different as the corvette had 4 wheel disc brakes and the others didnt. Plus the width, you want 8" wide for the correct look.
