1987 Wheel Question?

Does anyone know the offset and width of the standard (non-Z51) wheels on a 1987? I just bought one with AFS wheels that fit perfect. I'm using ZR-1 wheels to AX and need to know the width and off set of the standard wheels to sell these AFS's.

I know they have 255-50-16 tires on them now so am guessing they are 8" width wheels.

Any help would be great!

My 1987 factory service manual lists the "std" wheels as 16x8-1/2". The Z51 option had 16x9-1/2" wheels. It doesn't mention the offset.
