I believe that you're going to find you likely need a spacer using the 10.5 @ 65 on the rears. Have you checked? Are you prepared and understand the requirements?

I haven't checked to answer your question. I am prepared to add a spacer, if needed. My friend at discount tire said it was good to go and they will fit on the rear.

Correct size wheel both front and rear if the corvette is between 1988 to 1990 is 17" x 9.5" with a offset of + 54 degrees. I know this because I had to purchase new wheels so I called Corvette manufacturer in Kentucky.I hope this helps you.

I wouldn't want to pick because the 2mm is maybe irrelevant but the offset on the 9.5's that you reference is 56mm.
