Default C5 Wheels on 92 C4
Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my C4 to C5 Wheels

Is this a simple bolt on or additional modifications/cost involved?

Would like to hear from C4 owners who have done this upgrade?

Thanks and regards,

Do yourself a favor and learn the OffSet and what that means and what the original wheels were/are and what the replacements will be. Not all wheels are the same offset...

Plug and play with correct offsets as mentioned above.

My 91 with wheels from a 2003 Corvette. 18" rear, 17" front. Bolted right up. I peeled the C5 decals off, repainted the center caps and found some C4 decals on the 'Bay.
Bolted right up with no problems.

Any OEM C5 wheels (including Z06) will fit perfectly on an 88+ C4

As a matter of fact, some have installed C5 Zo6 rear (18x10.5) all around on C4s and they look great.
