What makes you think they're really off a Corvette? Why would anyone want 235's on their Corvette?

Have to agree, what did they come off? I've seen pictures of what looked to be Corvette rims on S10's, VW's & BMW's. Don't know if they had to use adapters or not, but it's possible someone is trying to do the reverse.

My 86 came with 245x50zr16's on it when I bought it. To go with 235's (don't know the width based on the above) they may be undersized.
That also does not take into account rim width, bolt pattern etc.

I'd go very slow and careful before opening my wallet on these.

I've seen those on 4th Gen F bodies. I would stick with what you have.

Not worth it. Why go backwards? That's if they even fit.

Your profile shows that you have a '92. All '92 coupes and 'verts came with 17x9.5" wheels and 275-40-17 tires. While those wheels in the ad may fit, they are not the right size for your car. Don't buy them.

nevermind that your car takes a +56 offset, I believe.

I was just thinking of getting to to resell. But I decided to pass, most guys go larger so probably wouldn't sell very quick. I would keep my wheels.

Mishawaka, I love the look. Darth Vader would feel that dark side.

Yeah I got a lot of looks when I took it to the theater to see Rogue One.
