can you tell me what size your wheels are and possible back spacing.....I'm wanting a set for my 96.....

Hey there
Wheels are 17" x 11 CCW classic with a back space of 7", i also run a 1/4 inch spacer Anything deeper than that i get rubbing. That rim width can work with anything from a 275/295/305/315 tire , mine are 295 /35/17 hoosier R7 BUT
After 87 they made the control arms a different length -not sure exactly without re researching it out ,but may be 1 " longer . So your back space could be greater than 7" in order to keep them tucked under your fenders. There are lots of threads on what works for your car on back space -just enter key words in search box.
Also appears now there are way more tire options and scrubs available if you you change to 18" wheels and match rim width to tire width you are considering .
Recommended by many to keep all for corners on a c4 the same ,unless your are getting into high hp/torque engine

Would you be able to post some of those pics on here ,or send them to me and any history that you know of ? Not sure if they would be digital pics or would they need to be scanned?
It would be great to have ,

Thanks !!

I should know the size of the wheels on my car but I don't. John Pruner made them for me years back. Since that time CCW has been sold.

When I switched from Khumo to Goodyear I had to add 1/8" spacer on the rear. The inside touched on occasion.

I do know that if I were doing it again I would go to a square set-up.

Looks awesome! What wing are you using? Is it detachable?

Thanks ... You must have been doing some deep research to find this old thread lol!
Car has been sitting for a few years while I helped my kid out a bit with school, I had planned on getting out in 2020 but covid stopped that so I’ll try again next year . The wing was posted on a CASC for sale forum , may have been from a radical or an open wheel car . I made aluminum brackets for it which do unpin from the welded supports under the body work.
