New Wheels for 86
New wheels for my '86 since they stopped making the tires. Had to find a suitable replacement. Alzhor 881, 18x9.5 wrapped in Goodyear Eagle A/S 255/40ZR/18.

Looks good but I didn't realize that Alzhor did the proper bolt circle mounting for the C4. Are they correct or 5 X 120? What offset?

They are 5x120. I worried that the .65 of a mm would be an issue, you cannot tell. They went right on. I did use StanceMagic hubcentric rings as the centerbore on the Alzhors are 72.6 and Corvette is 70.3. The offset is 35mm on the Alzhors, OEM is 38. Again, so close, no issue with any rubbing or fitment. It's like 1/10th of an inch difference.

Check out ESR wheels, thats what I'm saving for at the moment (broke 27 year old living in LA, everything requires saving lol). They have a custom drill option for all of their wheels. It'll take 6-8 weeks to get them if you go that route but they'll do it for ya and their styles are super rad!

They are basically factory-fit on 84-87 C4s (the OE 16x9.5 had 38mm offset). Later C4s used a lot more offset (56mm for a9.5" wheel), so these would sit pretty much flush with the upper fender edges with 275 tires on a later C4. Whether you like that look or not is subjective. They would also move the scrub radius 21mm further outside, which will affect steering feel a bit. They should physically fit without rubbing, though, as long as you use the correct tire diameter.

18"x9.5" +40 rims with 255x40zr18" fit perfect and measure up exactly like the oem tires do. Even have the same diameter so the speedometer is unaffected and no interference issues.
