Default Wheels C-4 / 1987

Thought I saw a thread on here in which it stated that the wheels were not in their proper place on a C-4 someone had just bought. But...I cannot find the thread to correct this on my 1987. My wheels look backwards, in other words the wheel pattern does not match front to rear (hope you know what I mean)

Are the wheel patterns on vettes supposed to match on each side? I bought this 87 a couple months ago and looked and mine pattern DOES NOT match. If so, how do I determine which wheel goes where on my vette? Is each wheel individually marked stating the location? Please see the attached photo of my wheel pattern. Thanks!

The wheels will be marked "Left" and "Right" on the inside of the wheel center. Just take one off and see what it says.

Okay thanks...since Left and right is all that's stated so...doesn't matter if front or back, just left, right, correct?

If you have 2, 9.5" wheels, they go on the back. If they are all 8.5" it does not matter.
