I've read countless posts about upgrading C3 wheels and tires. Talk of all the offsets and spacers have my head spinning a little.

With that said, will 2001 C5 Wheels fit a stock 80 C3? I think they might look good on it!

Thanks, Dega

yes they can fit but you will need adapter/spacers about 2.5 inches or 2.75 to make up for the BS but you can check that for your self to be positive. It also depends on which c5 rims you want if they are stock or z06. Z06 will require more modification if you have stock trailing arms. Most of the time people move there ebrake bracket on top or on the inner side but it is very doable i have base c6 wheels. I know you can find the link to measuring the difference between the stock and new rims to get the proper adapter.

I'm running stock C5 wagon wheels, all 17 x 8-1/2 inch with 2.5" adapters.

Those in your avitar? Those are what ive been looking at. Trying to find bigger pics.
Were those staggered on the c5 stock or 17's all around? Just trying to pin down what to look for. Thanks

Found a real nice pic of your car in another thread. Nice!

I used two pairs of front wheels, so they are the same all the way around. This allows me to rotate tires, and the 17 x 8.5" tuck up in the wheel well like the original tires/wheels.
