Default 84 vette

Looking to buy some zr1 wheels for my 84. Was just wondering what back spacing for front and rear cause I know there are all kinds. And maybe a good website to buy some on or part numbers if possible. Thanks.

Here's VERY ACCURATE information for C4 wheel dimensions. I'd use these if I were you and if you found something of interest and had any questions I'd post back with brand/wheel and maybe a link to the product and ask advice.

I've checked and confirmed I believe nearly all of the dimensions referenced and JOBY is a frequent poster and user here on the CF

I'd consider maybe posting a WTB in the parts section and add your location in your profile so it appears in the information to the left.

Hi

The 84-87 9.5 inch wide wheels have 38mm offset compared to 54 mm offset for the 88-96 9.5 inch wheels.
The exception is the 11 inch rear wheels on the ZR1 with 38 mm offset. You will need one inch thick adaptors to fit the 88-96 wheels on a 84-87, 2x for the front 9.5 wheels if you are using the 11 inch rears.

Direct fit (no adaptor needed)

Adaptors to use 88-96 wheels, you can get them under $100 on ebay...
