That year they came with a 15x7 I believe and the 91's came with a 16x8 wheel.

well not all 91's came that way.. all z28's came with the 16x8's, and it was an option for 91-92 rs's you got them with the f41 option, but either way they fit fine

theyll fit fine as long as you mount them correctly. be sure to check which ones are the front and which are the rear, or else they will rub

YUP!

The back of the 16" wheels are marked FRONT & REAR. Fronts will fit the rear, but rears won't fit the front (unless you use a small slip-on spacer).
