To me it looks like you have 4 86-87 wheels, and then one 88-92 wheel. Look at the last crossing of the spokes at the outside edge of the wheels. The 88-92 wheels have that dimple there as where the earlier ones are jsut solid. The backspacing SHOULD be the same regardless of the year, only difference is front and rear.

I might be wrong about the years, but the dimple is the only real difference.

EDIT: this is your oddball, the rest are a matched set.

Also the wheels with the deeper "trim ring" are the fronts, the wheels with the narrower "trim ring" are the rears. They should also be labled "front" and "rear" but they might be in ink under layers of dirt. Its normal for a rear 16" wheel to rub the tierod when mounted on the front hubs.

Four fronts will work, but it won't drive the same.
