Correct offset on rims?

[puppyfang]

Need to know the correct offset on wheels for a 1989 corvette...as I am going to replace the originals with a Grand Sport style...I am not sure but believe it is 54mm but I have also seen 56mm...please let me know...also where are some good places to get these from...do not want to spent a fortune on them...thanks

I believe the correct offset is 56mm. Should be the same for both 88 and 89.

As for the replacement wheels you could check OE Reproductions (?) out of Sarasota Florida. I think that is the correct name. They usually have an ad on eBay. You'll read both good and bad about the company. All I know is one of our club members got his wheels through them and he was happy.

I toyed with getting the GS style wheels for my 88 but ended up finding a refinished set of the factory wheels.

Good luck.
