85 Corvette Wheels.
First off let me apologize if this is a repeat posting. The search function always seems to fail me.
A friend of mine has an 85 Corvette and he's looking to get some new wheels for it. He would love to get the Z06 rims but realizes that bolt patterns are different. Are there any adaptors, and what sort of selection of wheels is he looking at. He'd like something from a newer Vette (Zr1 rims, Z06, etc). Any thoughts?
I really appreciate it.
Regards,
Dylan.

You need to know offset AND width. Each measurement by itself is meaningless.
After you know those, go here and type it in. Or you can pick some GM wheels from the menu. The common 17x9.5-56mm wheel isn't listed for some reason though.

Then after you've figured out what wheel you want, come back and ask me about adapters if the fitment is more than 3/8" off of GM specs.
