The wheels will fit, but will sit "inboard" approximately an inch too far. Early C4s has offsets of 32mm (8.5" wheels) or 38mm (9.5" wheels), and the 88 and newer cars of offsets of 50mm or 56mm (8.5" or 9.5" wheels). I think the general consensus is that 1" spacers will bring the wheels out just the right amount. Just be sure that the spacers you purchase have a center bore of 70.3. IF you purchase them from one of the major corvette vendors, you will get the right ones...

The 9/1/2" wide wheel will bolt on but it will sit 3/4" further inside compared to the stock 38mm offset found on the 16x9-1/2" wheel. Using a 3/4" adapter will move the wheels outboard that distance and the wheel/tire will sit properly in the wheelwell.
