Funny, new member, first post about installing 15" inch wheel in a C4 and you are already a supporting member. WTF 
Normally they own 84s.

Now that's a trooper right there! But as far as the wheels, I've heard of guys putting skinny 15"ers up front, but not sure if anything over 15x7 is going to clear the brakes. See if they'll let you mount one up (assuming they are local)...although I'd suggest going with a 17" wheel myself.

15" wheels would look odd on an 87. Most put 17" wheels on their car, if they replace the factory 16" wheels. 17" tires are more plentiful in variety of choice and cheaper in price.

It's unusual, but stuff happens to a car that's 23 years old. Let's ask the original poster:
Hey riversideblues are you sure those wheels are 15"? You may want to double check and look at the tire size to verify. As you can see, 87's came with 16" wheels as the standard option.
Did you just buy the car?
