Can anyone confirm that the Black center caps from the 84-85 16" wheels will fit in the 17" sawblades?

Sure! That would be great and save the hassle of buying one to test!

The smaller center caps are thru '90 and the '91+ all use a different.

OP - your early caps will NOT fit a wheel that is '91 or later

Were you wanting to paint your "saw-blades" black? GS center caps will fit all 91+ wheels OR blank caps painted black do very well also.
