Default Would these wheels fit?

Would these wheels and tires fit my 84 and are they worth 400$?
Front are 60% tread rear are 40%. They are 10 inches wide and 17 inches tall and stock are 16 and 8.5 so would they still fit? Worth 400$?

thanks

there's a good bit more information that would be needed to tell you "HOW WELL" they'd fit. They will bolt on but without knowing the offsets and accurate widths of the wheels there's no telling you what would be needed to do it. Likely it would involve 4 wheel adapter/spacers so let's say that adds maybe $140 -$160 more to the cost. What are the date codes of the tires. If the date codes are old then the tires regardless of appearance could be considered useless.

I would think you could maybe do better! Does he still have them on the car? If they're off of the car, the widths and offsets would be cast on the back-side. Get that information and post back.

Does this help? He still has the wheels on the car. He said the tires are 245/40/17 in front and 275/40/17 in the rear. He said he'd do 350$ if I came tomorrow

Those are ZR-1 replicas, there probably 9.5" wide. Those would have the wrong offset. You will need spacers to make them fit, about 3/4" I think. As for the tires, you would be running 275/40-17 on all corners.

Doesn't help - ASSUME - NOTHING

You need them off the car so you can get dimensions and you need the date codes of the tires still!

For a couple hundred more, you can get a new set of AFS Replica ZR1 DIRECT Fit 17x9.5" wheels made specifically for your 84!...No Wheel Adapters needed!..

You can apply the cost of the wheel adapters to buy these wheels.
