Default Wheel question?
What year did Corvettes come with 8 1/2" wide rims on the front and 9 1/2" rims in the back? Were they turban wheels like the 92 Vettes?

Base models had that "stagger" from 93-96. They are the sawblade style. In 1996 only, the Collector's Edition and GS convertible came with 8.5" front five-spoke A-Mold wheels.

That's true. They were 16" and had 32mm offset, as opposed to the 56mm offset of the later 17x8.5.
