Default Wheel Question

I was at a show last week and saw someone with C5 (Y2K) wheels on his C4. I never asked if he had spacers on the wheels or not..

Does anyone know if they will go right on or will I need a spacer. MY C4 is a 96 and I am looking at C5 polished Y2K's.

Thanks

For your year they should not need them. Mid America has them (triple plated chrome) and they do not need spacers. C4's before 1988 do need them. I am not sure, but factory ones should not need them but you may want to wait for another post to confirm this.

You will not need spacers. The front wheels are actually the same size as what came stock on your car (unless you have a Z51). I was going to go with the Y2K, but then decided on the Z06 wheels so I could run wider tires. By the way the Z06s are also a straight bolt on.
