Re: opinions on this wheel
You could add a spacer to get the wheel/tire positioned correctly. I had to do that on my '70 when I switched to ZR-1 type wheels. They're a little tough to see in the picture below (click on it to see a bigger image) but in person they're fairly easy to spot. If all you need is an inch they would be almost invisible.

Re: opinions on this wheel
I'd send them back and get the correct offset

Re: opinions on this wheel
so 13mm difference will be about an inch to narrow? I don't have the wheels bought yet.

Re: opinions on this wheel
the offset won't impact the width of the wheel, just how it sits on the car

Re: opinions on this wheel
Ok , will a spacer really make it look correct, and is that safe?

Re: opinions on this wheel
An inch spacer is pretty healthy...and you'll have to use longer wheels studs I would imagine. I would not opt for the incorrect offset wheels myself.
