They would be my choice!

A real classic look on a class Vette!

You will get many waves so.

It's thanks to you that I went that way. I was blown away by how good they look on your greenie. needless to say, I'm happy with them on Ruby. We took first place Sunday in a show in Denton - against 28 other 84 & newer Vettes, including a couple of brand new Grand Sports.

Thanks

Les

What size and offset are they? I've only seen 9" wide available and offsets not for an 88 up- thinking of going back to 17s and I like these wheels.

Thanks!

I love this area but, better to be where you are today. The temp is supposed to get to 104 with a heat index of 110/111.
Too damn hot to live.

Need more beer.

They are 9.5 x 17 all around with a 7" back spacing. Michelin 285/35 on the rear and 275/40 on the front. I originally ordered 9.5" fronts and 11" for the rear but, the back spacing was wrong on the 11s and they stuck out about 1.5" - looked ugly. I didn't want to wait another 7 weeks to get them replaced so, I took the 9.5s they had in stock. I would have liked the rears to be a little wider but, in the end, I'm happy with them as they are. I believe AR keeps the 9.5" in stock.

I understand, from other threads, that an 87 would require spacers to fit these wheels. I don't know that from first hand experience but, there are discussions on the subject on this forum.
