Default Wheels???


Looks great from 20 feet away! Can someone tell me what wheels we have on our beautiful car? We've only had it a couple of weeks and we are doing the research on the car and would appreciate any help you can give!

Also, the Z51/Z52 versions of the 1988 Corvette used the same design. Whether for '88 or '89, they are 17x9.5"; +56mm offset. Stock tires with these wheels were 275/40ZR-17.
And, this wheel in white was used on the 1988 35th Anniversary Corvette.

Your 'user ID' hints likely an '84 .... If that's true and I don't see any CHMSL... so the wheels are likely mounted using 'spacers/adapters'. I'd think it wise to confirm which and make sure it was done well. Left side are mounted in the correct 'rotation'. Check the rights! What year is it!! VIN?

Where are you located in the 'Wild & Wonderful'?
