I don't think so. Not without spacers and or adapters. 84-87 vettes are very limited with wheels. They changed the offset in 1988.

Don't forget to check the distance from the ground to the center of the wheel. I've seen cars with giant wagon wheels that sit several inches higher than normal.

Wagon wheels????? no comment. On second thought and in my opinion they don't look good on anything.

Here are the factory offset specs...find your car's original offset and compare to the "wagon wheels" offset... FYI, 25.4mm = 1 inch
So if your car originally had 56mm offset and the new wheels have 80mm offset, 80-56=24mm that is 1.5mm short of 1 inch adapters..
I am planning on putting these on my 86.
