I've been looking around at some of the newer Corvette wheels and was wondering if the split 5 spoke wheels from an 08 C6 (photo below) would fit on my 1985. I think I saw somewhere on here about earlier C4s having different spacing than the later models but I can't remember for sure. Thanks for any info you might have.
I just recently put a set of aftermarket C6 Grand Sport wheels on my 85. They are 56mm back spacing for the 88-96. I used 1 inch adapters on all 4 to mount them on. The rims you are considering will fit it just depend on the back spacing and adapters size you will need. I hope this helps.

Have you purchased these or just curious?
On the rear of your wheels (the C6) there will be width and offset information. Post that information so that anyone "that understands" could post back with good information. They aren't all the same, correct information can certainly save a good bit of aggravation.
I'm traveling today so there will be many comments I'm sure but get the information posted that will help. I'll look likely later in the day and I can do the math so I'd offer up my suggestions.
Did you purchase "take-offs" that are likely staggered or did you collect a set of 4 of the same dimensions? Mention that. I'm guessing staggered.
Hey, thanks for the replies, I always enjoy the help on this forum!
I'm not sure about the wheel dimensions. I found them on CL and thought I'd put them up on here to see if they'd even fit before contacting the seller. I just figured I didn't want to waste their time if it wouldn't work.
Here's the description from their post "2008 Chevrolet Corvette wheels. Rear tires included. Rims still have factory air pressure censors. Like new condition." My guess is they're staggered but I'm not sure. I'll contact them and see if I can find out more.

Just wondering if you have any problem with rubbing on the rear wheels when the suspension travels up or the front when you turn. They look great on the car though!
