Not the ones I've measured - Corvair wheels are offset 1" *inboard*, the wheels from the '60s, '70s, and '80s that I've checked are either zero or offset slightly *outboard*. Basically a 7" wide GM wheel has all the extra width on the outside. They can work, but there can be issues.

They come in 14 and 15 inch tire diameters. They can range anywhere from 4 1/2 to 8 inch in width. They almost all have the the same backspace / offset as the Corvair.
