Wheel Question
I want to put these on my 85 Vette 
What Back spacing do I need to order for the 16x9.5"? The car has the 16x8.5" stock wheels on it.
Thanks in Advance

Not sure if this will help but according to Mike Antonick's C4 Specs book the 16" X 9.5" 85 Vette wheel had a 1.5" offset. Maybe someone else can chime in the backspace.
