Using 1991 Corvette Wheels on 55 1st series/ S10 frame swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up an 85 LWB 2wd S10 to use the chassis under my 55 1st series. I understand that I will need to use a wider 4x4 rear axle and spacers on the front. I am wondering about wheel selection. Does anyone know if it is possible to use stock Corvette wheels, such as the 1991's? They are 17" x 9.5" w/ 7" to 7-1/2" back spacing. I assume that I would have to run an even deeper spacer on the front, and possibly a 2" spacer on the rear? Also, I have seen mention about using G-body front suspension components since they are supposedly wider (?), negating the use of spacer on front.
