Question, does anybody know if C 5 Wagon wheels fit on a 88 C 4 ? I'm planing sending my stock wheels out for chroming an I found a set of wagon wheels that are reasonable for the time being.

Reason: no pic
88 has the same wheel offset as the late model C4’s, which is also about the same as C5 backspacing. Wagon wheels will fit on your 88 just fine. I wouldn’t get them unless it’s a really good deal though, of all the C5 wheels styles the wagon wheels tend to sell the cheapest. I will say I actually think wagon wheels look better on a c4 than a c5 though.
I have tried C5 wheels on mine. The wagon wheels are shown on a '94 and the Z06 wheels are on a '96.
I copied a previous post below.

I put C5 wheels on mine a couple times. See pictures below. Without any spacers.
Note that the rear C5 tires are taller than the fronts, so it will change the "rake" of the car. I did not like that change and if you have stock C5 run flats they are very stiff too.
C5 wagon wheels (the thinspokes (polished or painted) have the same sizes and offsets.)
C5 Z06 wheels (replicas with the same sizes and offsets as stock)
Thanks for the information been on a vacation this week. Been looking a round for a set while mine goes out for chroming. Just not sure yet how things are gonna works out.

Always wanted my wheels chrome. Can I ask what it costs to do this?
Many times chrome wheels on exchange with core charge provided your wheels where never chromed. Pitted chrome/aluminum wheels are scrap. Keystone/LKQ was reconditioning and chroming at one time. Larger Body shops have sources also.
