Re: 92-96 wheels on an 89 Rs?
alright, thanks. I did a bit of googling and am figuring it out for the most part. I am considering some 05 corvette wheels or possibly 75vette rally wheels if the footprint works out no problem. Any clue if they do?

The OEM Corvette ones might be a little wide in the back, not 100% sure. Also, they are like 19s in the rear and 18s in the front... or 20s in the rear and 19s in the front, which is REALLY big on a Thirdgen. 18s are about as big as you want to go.
The first set might bolt on, depending on the backspacing/offset, which he doesn't list.

Okay I think i found the wheels I want, but I need a second opinion as to if they will work.

But if your set on Vette wheels, look around on TGO & you'll see that a lot of people who had them are selling them off & getting wheels that fit right the first time. IMHO, that tells me something when I see people selling off those things & switching to wheels they fit correctly. My motto is Do It Once & Do It Right.

Re: 92-96 wheels on an 89 Rs?
With the right adapters, they'll fit. By the time you buy the wheels & adapters, just take that $ & buy wheels that fit right the first time without need extra parts (the adapters) or doubling the # of lug nuts from 20 to 40.

Thanks for your wise words, I will take your advice. I saw 200 dollars and thought it was a steal, but if I will have to mess around with adapters and extra lugs and such, it doesnt really sound worth it.

Re: 92-96 wheels on an 89 Rs?
These should be 15x8 with 4" BS, which would be a -12.7mm offset. You can run these on all 4 corners, if you're careful with your tire sizes, and you roll your fender lips up front. You might fit up to a 255/60R15 in the rear, but good luck with more than a 235/60R15 up front.
