Default Wheel Question

I am considering buying these wheels, but do not have the ability to rip a wheel off my car and measure it up. Does anyone know how these will fit my 87. I am somewhat sure the fronts will be fine, but I am confused about the rears. The owner of the wheels has them (presumably) on an 85 with a solid axle.
Before I commit, I want to be somewhat sure they will fit well, and look decent in the wheel well.
TIA

I was incorrect in my assumption. The owner does not have a solid axle, but a stock 85 rear that is the same as my 87. Should look equally good on my ride!

I guess that makes this a wasteful thread.
In that case, what does everyone think? I always liked them for drag wheels.

I have always liked them. I will run them at the strip only, at least until I ruin the race rubber on them
This assumes I can pluck the money from my tight azz
