Will 85 Corvette wheels fit?

Post by socalastro »

I have a chance to buy a set of wheels off an 85 vette. Will they work? Im worried about them being far too wide. Any thoughts? Thanks!

i'm going to say no they wont. i believe the Vette had a 5x4.75" bolt pattern and the Astro has a 5x5".
I have a ban hammer and I ain't fraid to use it!

Bolt pattern is 5 on 4.75 ... only way to mount them is to run adapters.

The Astros front and rear can be redrilled to except the smaller bolt pattern, a little pricey.

But I agree, between the width and the offset dont think they will work.
