Re: C5 Wheels on C4 (reddracer)
Do they fit? If so, anyone with pictures?
I too think they look better on a C4 than a C5 :D
These are Y2k wheels

Re: C5 Wheels on C4 (Feenix566)
aren't they more narrow, though, and therefor provide less traction? and therefor make you slower?
rears remain 275's but they are 18"
No change in traction, 255's on the front are supposed to react less to ruts in the road

Re: C5 Wheels on C4 (MinnesotaWhite)
11 inchers... LOL :lol: anyhow. My wheels have been machined inside the spokes on the outer edge. u know the 90 degree andle on the lip of the y2k wheel? it was machined off which makes the spokes1/2 inch longer as well. It also gives a fat white band when spinning... like the porsche turbo. I then painted them quadruple white, inside and out. i used chrome y2k centercaps cuz theyre flat , that way i dont have a c5 emblem on my car. I love the look, but i wouldnt do it again. 5 months in the garage over the winter with a dremel, a bunch of bit #112s and a grocery bag over every part of my body to keep the aluminum bits outta my clothes...... no thanks, never again. But hey, I got 1 of a kind wheels :yesnod: :D :yesnod:
Tires are bridgestone so2 pole position 273/35/18. I use DRM 5/8" wheel spacers on ALL wheels with the zinc coated DRM 1/2" longer wheel studs. Only thing left is considering widening the rear wheel to 10.5 inch. :)
