Default Wheel fitment

I am looking for some wheels and tires for my 1994 Coupe.. I came across these for sale and was wondering if they will fit my 94.. The owner said they are from a 90 Vette, but that he had them on an 84.
I am not sure of the rim width, but the tires are 255-50-16

will these fit my 94?

They would have a different offset and would not look good in my opinion. He has his info backward...those are 84 wheels he may have had on a 90.

I have full set of OEM Forged wheels (with Goodyear F1 high performance tires mounted and balanced) that I am taking off my '96 CE and will sell to a good home. You might want to see if those will fit. They are a substantial upgrade. Send me a PM for details and photos.

Those are refinished 84-87 wheels, and like the guys above mentioned, would have the wrong offset on your car. They would stick out too far.

Someone did a nice job polishing them.

Why would you downgrade? Installing a 84-87 wheel in a 94 it's just wrong.

The sawblade is a 17" wheel, the 84 is 16"

The sawblade is 9.5" wide, the 84 is 8.5" wide and like the above posts says, the 84 wheel's offset is not compatible with the 94 Vette.
