No.
C5 wheels will fit 88-96 fine without adapters or spacers.
They will 'fit' 84-87 too, but will tuck in too far (generally by about 3/4"-1.25" depending on the wheel) and look crappy.
84-87 cars will require an adapter or spacer to look right.
kinkajou, To mount those C5 wagon wheels on your vette I recommend 1" adapters in rear, and 1.25" in front. You could also put 1.25" in rear too, it will give a little more aggressive look, but most vettes have the body & suspension off center in back, so one sidewall might stick out a tad while the other doesn't. No big deal, maybe a little more mud on the fender on one side. I recommend lug AND hub centered spacers. These come with tapered lug holes and a flange protruding from the center. They generally go for $75-100 per pair.
