I didn't think that they were but they do look similar.
Ya might have to call John down there at CCW to verify.
I'd read that you got a drag pack but what sizes are they, 16" front and rear? And are they the Firestone skinnies up front with the bias ply M/Ts in the back?
Black or polished?
Post pics dude.
The rims have to be drilled to except the center caps. I know some of the older sets don't except them.
Give John a call, it's still early he might answer.
I know it's Sunday, he does still answer if available.

Left him a VM so hopefully he'll give me a shout tomorrow.
And yea I picked up a set of 16" at all 4 corners, believe they're firestone skinnies up front and they're m/t bias plys out back, but they're diiiiiiiiirty. I hope to clean em up tomorrow and trial mount them on the car. I'll get pics up then

The rears might not fit right on there at first but after a little pounding/grinding of the upper tie rod/ball joint bolt thingies they should fit.

Believe it or not I have seen/heard of one or two cases where they did actually slide right on and not hit anything but that is quite rare/almost never.

Since Murphy (as in Murphy's law) is my Siamese twin I can say any 16" wheel I have placed on a C5 needed the dust cap clearanced.
One very funny incident happened to some idiot named Nitrous Bob while running the Corvette Challenge up in Bradenton Florida.
He borrowed a set of 16" rims from some guy here on the forum with the last name of Valone. Bolted those bad boys on the car, dropped the jack, got in a hit the gas. Car went NOWHERE Valone was laughing his ass off, since I had forgotten to clearance the ball joint dust caps. Rims locked solid.

I was pissed but boy was it freaking funny. I'm on dirt with the gas pedal to the floor car in drive and going no place fast. Keith Valone was like this I was like this
