Default Post your 84-87 pics if you have non stock wheels

There was a signifigant change in the offset of the factory wheels in 1988. 84 to 87 wheels used a 38mm offset and the later 17" wheels used a 56mm offset.

With this being said there is often less after market wheels available for the 84 -87 years.

Just to give us 38mm people a better idea of whats out there for us....

POST 1 PIC OF YOUR CAR SHOWING YOUR WHEELS. DONT POST A PIC IF YOU HAVE ADAPTERS OR SPACERS.

Didn't the Z51 have wider factory rims out back to improve handling?How would messing with GMs formula effect that?

Well there's yer answer. AFS 5 spokes or nothin!

I was considering some cuisinart or sawblade rear ZR1s on all 4s.

Torq thrust is also an option.

86E, direct fit, no adapters. FactoryReproductions.com. You need to ask via email for the 38mm Offset for the 84-87 Corvette.

16s never looked so good. I like a little more sidewall, more muscle look. Not a big fan of the belt sander tires everyones using these days, especially on the older cars.
