Which Wheel Spacers Needed
I would like to know what size wheel spacers are needed for the following factory wheels to be used on C-4s.
(1) 84-87 w/ 88-96 wheels.
(2) 84-87 w/ C-5 wheels.
(3) 84-87 w/ C-6 wheels.
(4) 88-96 w/ C-5 wheels.
(5) 88-96 w/ C-6 wheels.
Just for reference, I believe that in order to run J55, C-5 or 13" brakes in general, you need 17" A-molds or larger (newer) Vette wheels. I hope this thread will come in handy for anyone looking to buy wheels in the future.

84-87 38mm all four off set (Z51 spec)
34 mm non Z51
I put on C6 wheels (polished).
Front rim is 18x8.5 with 56mm off set and 245x40x18 TIRES.
Rear rim is 19x10 with 79mm off set and 285x35x19 TIRES.
No rubbing
I needed to get 34mm spacers for the front, and 38mm spacers for the rear.
This allows the tires to sit out 3mm (almost nothing) wider then the Z51 stance. (I figured it would look nice)

to fit 88 to 96 wheels on 84 to 87 vets you will need a spacer of 3/4 to one inch thick.
also, you can fit a 18 by 9.5 c6 zo6 (40mm offsett) front wheel only on all four corners on a 84 to 87 vet. no spacer needed.
