i HAVE A 87 CORVETTE WITH STANDARD 15 IN WHEELS. FOUND 15" WHEELS FROM A 73 .DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THESE WILL FIT THE 87 C4

THANKS MIKE

My guess would be no due to the 87 having bigger brakes. But I'z just guessing.

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.

No they won't. Way different offset.

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.

Wow, I'm gonna look stupid here but my 87 came stock with 16 inch wheels with the Z52 suspension and I thought even the Z51 had 16 inchers. Am I wrong?

Relic

Standard wheel size for an 87 is 16". I have a base model coupe, with G92, (performance axle), and it had 16" factory wheels on it.

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.

That doesn't look like a very welcoming post on a thread where a new member is asking for help.

Is there something you don't approve of in that post?

PLRX

No Sir.

CREWZIN

Then how come the first poster said he had standard 15 inch wheels?

Relic

Mistake?
Bought his first Vette and didn't know that it had the wheels replaced?

Or do you suspect something more sinister?

See what happens when you drive C4s in the rain?

their shoes shrink

CREWZIN

Actually, I was wondering why nobody else thought it was strange?

Relic

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?

Relic

Ohhhh... I wondered why the rude greeting.

I get it now.
