Which Vette rims?

Which Vette rims fit our cars?? I have some old 16 x 9.5 85 or 86 rims thay weigh a ton but hold a 265 tire very well with a 37 mm offset. Unfortunately they don't allow much brake cooling with or without ducting. Was looking at some 89 rims that were 17 x 9.5 but had a 56 mm offset which is not going to work without spacers and longer studs. Anyone know of other year rims that work . I am definitely looking for 9.5 " rims either 16 or 17 " . Too bad that the largest factpry F body rim is a 17 x 9 . I have a great set of 10 spoke SS rims but they don't hold a large tire well.

C4 rims

I think any '84-'96 Vette rim will fit 4th gen f-body including the 17x9.5" wheels. no spacers needed.
(real) ZR1 17x11 rears, only 32mm offset, will fit but stick way out. Gransport offset 17x11's will fit, 50mm offset. Also most, if not all, C5 rims will bolt up too. I'm not sure about the Z06 rear rims though.

check out this table for various rim sizes for C4's

Thanks for the info. Does the 56 mm offset on a 17 x 9.5 not hit the spindle on the front or the wheel well in the back??
