A friend of mine just put some vette wheels on his 85 IROC but he's on vacation this week..When he returns I'll get you the info..
The 17x11s just barely fit the rear.

Im running 90 Corvette rims on my 92 Z28 Convertible. I have a 94 Z28 fourth gen rear in my car, so rear spacers arnt needed for me. But I do have 2 1/2 spacer in the front. Hope that helps.

check out the link in the appearance board, the answer is there. The title of the thread is: "c5 rims"

Later,
Jesse

PS-I'm thinking of doing this too.

PSS- check out http://www.corvetteforum.com for some REALLY good deals on these wheels.

You dont HAVE to put in a 4th gen rear, you can use spacers in the rear too. I think the size you need is 1 1/2 or 2 inch spacer for the rear. Its just at a cost of 150 bones for a pair, it can get pricey just to make the rims fit, let alone the cost of the Vette rims and tires. Hope that helps.
