Below is a listing of the various Corvette generation wheels with offsets.
84-87 base
16"x 8.5"- 32mm
84R-87 Z51
16"x 9.5"- 38mm
88-96 base
17"x 8.5"- 56mm (I think the '88 16" offset also)
17"x 9.5"- 56mm (also used for fronts on some models)
ZR1 rear
17"x 11"- 36mm
Grand Sport rear
17"x 11"- 50mm
C5 base
17"x 8.5"- 56mm
18"x 9.5"- 65mm
C5 Z06
17"x 9.5"- 54mm
18"x 10.5"- 58mm
C6 base
18"x 8.5"- 56mm
19"x 10"- 79mm
C6 Z06
18"x 9.5"- 40mm
19"x 12"- 59mm
C7 base
18"x 8.5" - 56mm
19"x 10" - 79mm
C7 Z51
19"x 8.5" - 56mm
20"x 10" - 79mm
I haven't tried fitting all the wheels, but the chart above may help. The C5 base wheels will fit. Although I don't care for the C5 wagon wheels I tried them on my '94 and they fit without adapters although the rear are a little inboard.
Here is a picture to show what they looked like for sizes and how well they fill out the wheel wells.
I didn't like them. They looked ok, but the 17" front and 18" rear made the car feel too high in back. I also had the stock C5 Goodyear run flats on them and they are very stiff so I didn't like the ride either. The tires were the stock C5 sizes 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear.
I went back to C4 wheels.
Good luck with your choice.
