Default Need Help - 95 wheels vs 84

Can anyone give me info about if wheels from an 95 will fit onto an 84 - and what kind if any spacer is needed?

If your 84 is anything like my 85 you'll need different size spacers. The wheels don't stick in(or out) the same. I understand that is because of a manufacturing flaw on some older C4s.

your 84 uses 38mm (about) offset for non-z51 rims, and the 94 uses a 56mm offset. Z51 or ZR1 rims will change those numbers.

To get those rims to fit yours, you have a few options. The most poplular is usually a 3/4" adapter. Repost your question in general or tech, or dig through the archives for more info.

I'm running the adapters on my '84...

For you flame throwers... NO I HAVEN'T been able to tear them off and if ANYONE could it would be ME!!!!!!

My adapters aren't anything special, just some I bought here on the forum. Plain vanilla, fairly cheap adapters that have been throughly tested by me in both lateral directions.
They've held up just fine and I've done most everything to break them except sliding up against a curb.

I might not trust them to road race with'em myself but for driving around out here in the 'civilian' world, they're 'just fine'.

My Crossfire hasn't got enough power to test them properly in the 'radial' mode. Not that I haven't tried.
