Hey guys. I bought a clean little 88 Corvette for my 62nd birthday. It is basically stock with the factory 16" wheels.
I'm finding it to be a chore to find tires to replace the stock 16's. A neighbor down the street has a set of 17" wheels that came on his 93'. Would these fit my 88' OK or would I have to have spacers?
Thanks for any input.

I'm pretty sure you will need spacers, but I do not know this for a fact.

The offset should be identicle. NO spacers needed....

Thanks guys. I felt it wouldn't need them since the 17's were an option in 88. Thought I better be sure before I made a monetary transaction.

It's amazing how far out of the loop you get when you're out of hot roding for thirty years.
