Default C6 wheels

New to the forume and first time c4 owner. I have a early body style c4 (1987). Will c6 wheels fit properly or do I have to do something to make it look factory?

They won't come close without spacers. Your stock 16" wheels were either 8.5" with 32mm offset or 9.5" wheels with 38mm offset. These C6 wheels are 8.5" with 56mm offset (like 93-96 base model front sawblades) and the rears are 10" with 79mm offset. For the front, you'll want 3/4" spacers (or thereabouts). In back, you'll need about 1-2/3" of spacer. You can accomplish the front spacing with either longer studs and a 3/4" plain (pass-through) spacer or with a bolt-on adapter. I would prefer the former. In back, I doubt there are wheel studs long enough to allow a plain spacer, so you'll have to find a bolt-on adapter. I have no idea if they exist in that big of a spacing dimension.
