question about a specific wheel

sorry ive been cruising the threads and really havent seen this answered but i have a good deal to buy a set of corvette wheels. I know they are a different bolt pattern and can buy a spacer question is will they fit at all. they are 18 x 9.5 and i think 58mm offset with a spacer front is 17 x 8.5 with 58 mm offset any help will be appreciated thanks guys

"..different bolt pattern.."

Why would you think they might fit if they have a different bolt pattern? How would you fasten them to your hubs? A spacer would adjust for offset, not adapt the different bolt pattern to your hub. Maybe I'm missing something here.

they make adapter/spacer for changing lug patterns. it is 1 in spacer it uses a small lug to bolt on spacer and then the spacer itself has a different set of lug bolts. so i would use on to bolt on to a 5 x 4.5 and the new lug pattern would be 5 x 4.75. roughly a 25 mm is 1 inch right? so i was just wondering new to rx7 so i havent had time to play with spacing of new tire and wheels so im not sure what will fit and what wont thank you.
