Default Wheel

Had the front wheels off my new 84 and discovered the insides had a tremendous build up of crude. As I just paid to have them balanced I was not to happy that they hadn't said anything to me, as now I will have to fight for a rebalance once they are clean. Anyway I digress, while cleaning the fronts I noticed they didn't seem the same. I got out the ruler and sure enough one is 8.5 and the other is 9.5. Gotta feel it was screwing up the handling some, love these P.O.
I need one wheel for the drivers side. Anybody got any suggestion on used parts, where to get them?

back wheels are both 9.5. Did this car come with 9.5 on rear and 8.5 on front. If so , why? Any reason it can't be 9.5 all around

My 84 had 8.5" rims in the front and rear if I'm not mistaken. If you have the z51 suspension option then it came with 9.5" rims in the rear.
