84-87 the wheel offset is different. They will fit your car fine without the need for adaptors.

I have not installed the front yet so I cannot say for sure with them, but the 18" rears are fine. I have 315 drag radials on them and they clear without modification. I will be trying the 17" fronts as soon as I get tires, and my car is a 94 also.

Are you in the market for a set? If so, what are you looking for?

Those wheels will fit fine on your '94. You might find a decline in ride quality, though.
