Wheel Question
I own a 92 vette. Will C5 wheels 1997/1999 be the correct offset and size for my ride. I bought new tires recently so size 17 inch is important . I havent been on this site for a while. I plan on "tunning in "more often in the future.

My 93 had C5 (97-99) wheels on it when I bought it. The previous owner was the one who put them on. He said they bolted right on with no problem. I've not noticed any problem with offset, they look right to me. Only thing is that the C5's used 17" on the front and 18" on the rear. If you intend on using 17" you're going to have to buy 4 front wheels in order to use your tires.

Although the front wheels/tires do fit on the rear, there are not the proper offset and will be in too far.
