18x10 in the rear

ok

1) Im pretty sure i will need adapters to put C5 wheels on my 85 IROC, where can i get those at

2) Can i go 10.5" wide in the rear, if i need modifications to do so, what needs to be done ?

3) These are the wheels im lookin at, they are Chrome Z06's, backspacing and such should be listed

I believe that the C5 wheels have a different rear offset than fourthgen wheels, so regular adapters won't work (or they won't be exact anyway). I'm not completely sure of this, but I believe guys on corvetteforum.com were discussing this about the C5 magnesium wheels at one point. In any event, if they're aftermarket wheels, you may be able to get them in 4th gen offsets in which case you can just get Skulte's spacers.

What the backspacing on the C5 wheels? I have 18 by 10s on my 3rdGen with a 5" bspacing. It could possibly even handle a 6" bspace.
