Corvette rims on f-body(spacing question)

Factory rims off a corvette 00-03 have no problem going onto a 94z28 right?

Spacing wise i mean underneath the car. Dont want them rubbing or anything.

you won't have any problems with them rubbing on the wheel well I don't think, but you may have to sand the inside of the hub so that it will fit right. Newer wheels sometimes need to be grinded down a little so they fit right on older f-bodies. at least that's how it worked for me.

I have some '03 vette wheels on my '97 TA. The wheels are 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 w/ 255/40/ZR17 and 285/35/ZR18 and I had to get 7/32" spacers for the rear cause the tires are too wide. I got them from Summit for under 20 bux. Now they fit perfect with no rubbing.

I had to grind on my new zr1 rims for the back axle also. They wouldn't fit over the hub but the fronts fit fine.
