C4 rims will these work?
Hey guys im new to posting in this thread and have come across many opinions on rims. I found this website today that makes C6 style rims for the C4 generation (http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/specials/c6.shtml) I'm looking at buying the 52531D-c,38 which are 18" x 9.5 38mm Offset. My question is will these work without spacers because if i remember correctly the stock offset is 32mm. does anyone have these rims on their C4? discuss please.

18's are great if you ever plan on installing a BIG brake upgrade, other wise 17's do "tend" to look the best. Keeping the rolling mass smaller is usually better for performance for a stock car as well.

I got them in an eBay Auction from FactoryReproductions.com. Visit their website, send them an email or call them. Tell them you want 38mm Offset 17" (9.5) Chrome ZR-1 Wheels for the 84-87 Corvette. They should be able to hook you up. Although their website does not list the 84-87 Corvette, they do have wheels for it. I paid $589 for the wheels. 18" Wheels just don't look right on a C4. And yes, they are direct fit - no adapters needed. As for tires, I put 245/40's on.

What are you talk'n about???
I get tons of complements on these 18s!!! 19s are a bit much for a C4, but the 18s in my eyes are PERFECT.

My husband came home with a really interesting and fun web site for looking at wheels...it's interactive and allows you to *see* the wheels on your car...the '88s and newer.
