It wasn't the wheel style it was the stance. Look at the rear tires on that car and remember, this was 1994 and there were no "Cobra R's" or anything else like that at the time. 275/40's were Corvette only and about $300/tire.
The wheels I bought at the time were 16" because that was the biggest tire I could afford, lol. The wheels on the car now are different.
