I have 2000 Corvette wheels on my 85 and used spacers to make it come out right. I didn't go with the 18" on the rear, just 17s all around. I haven't had a problem with the spacers.

When the starter went bad on my 85 a few years back I installed a mini-starter on it. Sure a lot easier to install than the original and actually works better.

Well, I did my 85 today and can say it wasn't a piece of cake. I ended up using my Sawzall to cut a bracket so I could get my arm in there. Even at that I had to get mad enough to ram my arm up far...

I was able to reach the light plug assembly from below (second try) but wasn't able to turn it. I assume it turns counter clockwise to loosen? Mine was stuck either way..
