I believe they are 3/4" adapters that you'll need. By the way I'm thinking of selling the wheels of my '94 with tires. They are the standard sawblades in very good condition (23k miles). Let me know if you're interested and I can send you some pics.

You 87 wheels have a 38mm offset and the 88-later wheels have 56mm. The difference adds up to 18mm or just about 3/4". Adapters are pricey so you might want to consider going with something like AFS Wheels ZR-1 replicas that are available with a specifc 38mm offset just for 84-87 cars and do not need adapters.

Given what he says about the condition, you might wind up paying more for the adapters than for the wheels!!
