New Wheels
My 1992 Coupe had ROH International wheels on it when I bought it, but the hub area was damaged on one of these. Since I haven't been able to find a replacement, I'm looking at some new wheels.
It looks like the original size was 17x10 with a 50mm offset.
I found some on Jegs that resemble the C7 wheel, sized at 17x9.5 with a 54mm offset that are suppose to fit.
My car is lowered, so I'm curious if anyone can offer their experience with these as far as fit and quality as they seem quite inexpensive.

Repro ZR-1 OE Wheels on Lowered C4?
While my car isn't a ZR-1, I need to replace the wheels and tires. I'm interested in going with the repro ZR-1 wheels from OE Wheels, and the Nitto 555 G2's. Can anyone advise how the rears fit on a lowered C4 with 315's on their 17x11 rims?

I use the GS fitment (50mm offset) 11" wheels at all four corners of my non-ZR1 C4. That fitment will work on any 88-96 C4 that isn't a ZR1, and any diameter from 17" and up is fine. Tires are 315 section width, and they clear everything too. The ZR1 fitment (36mm offset) should work perfectly on 84-87 C4s, or one could use the 50mm wheels with 3/4" spacers.

I'm turning moderately hard to the left there, but also accelerating hard, so the front right corner is about at resting ride height and the rear is a little lower than its resting ride height.

Chuck, glad I could help. And thanks both of you for the compliments. I don't know exactly why, but having 11" wheels and 315 tires front and rear together just make these cars look a lot better. I get compliments on the car at gas stations and such, out of the blue, even though as you can see it's not a show car. Other than being lower and the rolling stock, there's little else visually different about my car compared to any other later C4.
