If they 1987 wheels will work then I will buy the wheels.

Just called Discount Tire and they told me it would fit just fine. The difference would be 5mm and will fit just fine!

So will have new old stock wheels on my car soon!!!

Marty, glad you got some clarification from the tire place.

I usually use this online calculator to get fitment info. I like that this particular one also tries to show how it will look in addition to just saying it will/will not fit.

Otherwise, direct experience is the best way to gauge. Please post some pictures or in any way keep us updated after you make the changes.
