Default Wheels for C4

I have a 1994 Corvette. Does anybody know
if 18 X 9.5 wheels will fit the car and will there be any issues if I use all 4 in that size?
Thanks for the help.

There should be no problems using 4 18 X 9.5 wheels.

You should have no problem if the offsett is right (or close), according to the chart below your car has 56mm offset (unless your car is a Z1). Are the new wheels off another year Corvette? If so check the list below...

I am looking at a set of wheels from Ebay that says they are stock from a 2001. Mine is a stock C4 coupe - not a ZR1. Thanks for sending the chart. That was nice and very helpful.

The stock 2001 wheels are 17" front and 18" rear. I have had them on my L98 91 which has the same setback as your LT1 95. They fit nicely.

On the ad it was listed as all 18's but I had a feeling that stock was 17s and 18s. Thanks for the help. Anybody have a pic of these on their corvette?

Those are usually referred to as Y2K wheels or Thinspokes. Do a search for either term in the "C4 General" section, and you'll find some pics.
