Howdy all, i have a 85 and want to put some newer style 17in wheels on it. What do i need to know about doing this, i hear something about a offet being different after 88' but what the heck is a offset. What else do i need to know about going from my 85 16in stock rims to say some 17in sawblades or 17in Z06 rims

Thanks!

In going to a late C4 17" rim, you will need .5"-.75" wheel spacers to correct the differing offset.
