Yes.

1984 Corvette 16x8.5 shod with 205/50-16 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires.

Wheels were purchased for $200 complete with caps and lugs back in 1988 out of the Recycler newspaper, back when that was how you found your cars and parts. The wheels were installed back in 1988.

No spacers or adapters were used, just good old fashioned machine work and some suspension and brake mods utilizing VW parts along with some luck made them fit. No body mods like rolling the lips or anything like that were done to shoehorn them in, the wheel width and backspacing just happened to be perfect.
