Default Z28 Rims

Would stock Z28 rims off a newer model Z28 bolt up to the 81 corvette bolt pattern? Has anyone ever accomplished this before? I have a sweet deal on some but im not too sure how they will look or fit. Thanks for the help. :cheers:

What year Z28 wheels are you thinking of?
The wheels that came off my 87 IROC with 4 wheel discs
had different back spacing front to rear. the wheels even had "FRONT & REAR" cast right in the wheels.

Offset will get you, but you might be able to get spacer adapters and bolt them up.

I have 88 16" IROC wheels on my 69. You have to use 4 fronts due to the offset.
