I messed with it. I was trying 2006 ZO6 wheels on a 81. You need wheel spacers 2.5 rear and 2.25 front and they need to be hub centric. I would order from VBP the ones I bought from ebay needed additional machining. My brother in law ownes a machine shop and when he ran them on a lay, he was not impressed with the quality at all. He was going to make me 2 sets for my car because quality was a issue. I ended up going with the factory chrome (aluminum wheels) the spacers ended up scaring me. I will sell you the spacers if your interested. PM me.
