Vette Rims
All C4 and C5 Corvette's used a wheel with a 5 x 4.75" bolt pattern. That means they will match the bolt pattern on the 3rd and 4th Gen F-Bodys. But, the "backspace" on the Corvette wheels varies all over the place, and in some cases is too large for the F-Body, putting the inside edge of the tire into contact with the inner fender.
You need to pick a specific year Corvette wheel, then the specific diameter and width, and I can tell you whether it will fit or not.

Well, its the newer vettes, like the 02-04 ones... the very skinny 5 star spoke rims with that fatass wheel base. Not sure of measurements... thats why i'm totally in the dark here. hrm... 17" rims prefferably though.
The table of wheels sizes I got from VETTE magazine shows:
2001 and newer 5-spoke:
18x9.5" 65mm offset (7.75" backspace)
17x8.5" 56mm offset (6.90 backspace)
A wide tire on the 18x9.5" might just start to rub on the inner fender. The 17x8.5" will be fine, because it is basically the stock offset. There may be some aftermarket replicas that are wider????
