Default C$ Wheels

I'm new at this. I wanted to know if C5 wheels will fit on 1992/C4? I wanted to upgrade the wheels from the silver ZR1 wheels. Car is white and would look better with chrome. I think that the c5 front 17 inch wheels will work fine. I'm confused about putting 18 inch on the rear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I've got a set of C5 wheels on my '93. Direct bolt on, no clearance problems at all.

How about as far as tire size with any of the C5 or C6 wheels?

C5 yes, C5Z will fit but stick out (10.5" wheels), C6 no- need 1" adapters for the rear.

Go with 35 series profiles on the 18" rears and diameter will remain the same (275 or 285/35/18).

Chrome wheels were not a factory option, so unless a previous owner had his wheels chromed they are aftermarket. In 2000 polished aluminum wheels were available as a $900 option. I have them on my black 93 and they look
