Anyone done it?

What sort of spacer is needed?

This is an older style 16 x 10 Corvette rim, BTW

What Corvette wheels were 16x10??? I know early 16" C4 rims were 8.5" rims, I believe only 1 or 2 styles, then they moved up to 17x9.5" wheels, in 3 styles, but I don't recall any stock C4 wheels being 16x10? I am assuming you are talking about some stock C4 wheels, correct?

I think 16x9.5 was used at one end, at least in an option package.

FWIW, my 16x10 CCW's have a 1/4" spacer bolted to the back of the hub. The effective offset with the spacer is about 39~40mm.

Ding Ding! I think we have the winner here.

Apparently there is some discussion as to whether or not these rims are 9.5 or 10 inch. I think they come off an early 4'th gen.

Sounds like 1/4 inch will work. Thanks guys!

They may not be pretty but I think they will make nice track wheels.

A guy in our club was running them on his 02' SS without any spacers that I know of. It wouldn't hurt to check smile.gif

I'm not sure how close the dimensions are between my CCW wheels and the Vette wheels. The following measurements are the net measurements with bolted-in spacer.

back spacing = 7.125"
total width = 11.125"
offset = 1.56" (39.6mm)

I don't know whether that means you need a spacer with the real Vette rims or not. If the offset is 38mm, you may not need any spacer.
