Fikse Wheels
Can anyone help me out? I am trying to buy a set of Fikse FM5's from a seller for my 1994 Corvette. He told me the offsets are 68mm with 8.18" backspacing front and 8.68" backspacing rear. Sizes are 17x10 fronts and 17x11 rears. Does anyone own or used to own a late C4 with Fikses and what offsets did you have? I already tried calling Fikse and emailed but have had no response. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We are happy to help you with as much information we can provide.
Regarding the dimensions as measured below, our typical fitment would have 1/2" less backspacing which results in 12.7mm less offset at 55mm.
There is however some conflicting information in the database regarding this set of wheels.
If you would like to call me directly you can call 888-993-0422 x4 or email to sales@fiksena.com.

Pete,
I called the seller and had him verify a few measurements. The front wheels are actually 17x9.5 with a 62mm offset. Both front and rear wheels have more positive offset than you should use on your 1994 Corvette.
To make this set of wheels work well you would need new inner and outer rim halves for the rear wheels. You could use the outer coming off of the rear wheels to resize the front wheels to 10" with a 56mm offset, which would be a good fit for your 1994 Corvette.
If the cost for this set of wheels plus the modifications does not work out for you, please consider a new set of Fikse wheels.
Thank you,
Alan

A wheel manufacturer contacting a seller to verify fitment for a buyer on a set of wheels they won't make a dime on. That's beyond good customer service, basically unheard of and deserves recognition.
Good looking out Alan.
