Default wheel adapters

i had a link for a website for wheel adapters, but i lost it. i bought the 3/4" adapters from midamerica or ecklers a while back, but they didn't work as the wheels i was putting on aren't for a later stock wheel. someone had a site that had all different kinds of adapters. i'm looking for 1", same bolt pattern as the stock wheels for my 87. anyone have a clue?

Try www.adaptitusa.com.

I bought my 1" adapters from them 5 x 4.75 to 5 x 4.75 wheel adapter.

Are these 1" 5 x 4.75 to 5. 4.75 the proper size to use to upgrade to 17" rims?

If you're talking going on your 87 to 88up wheels, then yes. Also needed if you're going to C5/C6 wheels. If you go aftermarket, there are correct offset 17's available out there.
