Stock C3 wheels have a 4 inch backspace. It's possible to go with a little greater backspace (the inside of the wheel will be closer to the trailing arm or frame), but you quickly get into the area where you have to begin modifying the trailing arm and you lose turning radius.
To get the adapter size you need, measure the backspace (put a straightedge across the inside rim and measure down to the face where the wheel bolts would meet the brake). The difference between that number and the stock 4 inch backspace is approx. the size of the adaptor you will need.
