C5 wheels on 87 C4

Hi,

I know that my question has been addressed before but my search did not reveal enough for a complete answer.

I have an opportunity to buy 4 stock wheels from a 1997 C5 as a very good price. The wheels are in great shape.

Here are my questions:

I realize that I will need spacers but will they fit OK in the fender wells using the stock 97 tire sizes ?

If they will fit, what is the thickness of the front and rear spacers and where can I buy them ?

Do the 97 wheels change the wheel bearing loading possibly causing early wheel bearing failure ?

Thanks
