You will need spacers to compensate for the 18mm difference in offset. Otherwise it is a match made in heaven as the overall diameter is nearly identical. Go for it!
But the offsets are different so the sawblades will sit inboard from where your originals sit. It may look a little funny. To correct the offset difference a 3/4" adapter is needed. Many people use a 1" with no problems. I used a 1.25" on my '85 and it worked fine with the 8.5" front 9.5" rear. I think the 1.25" would have been too much on the fronts if I was using the 9.5" fronts.
Hi
This is what the guy wrote 4 Corvette saw blade rims/tires, both in very good condition.
Tires are Cooper Zeon 2XS. They fit many other vehicles,
Front and Rear are 17"x9.5" 56"" (7.4" backspacing)
thanks
I'm new at corvettes
and I own a 1984

The major Corvette venders have wheel "adapters" for early C4s that allow this mod. An adapter has its own studs where a spacer just moves the wheel out on the existing studs. The adapter is my choice for strength and safety if you have a lot of power or if you auto-cross.
So what size would I need (thickness). And do you have any info on them
thanks

As I said, the major vendors like Forum Vendor Corvette America have Wheel Adaptor Kits to put late C4 wheels on early C4s. There is only one thickness offered. See page 90 (Part Number 22110) of their 1984-2014 Catalog or check the part number through the vendor section
