Get the ones for the 84 - 87 C4 as the rims for the later models will require a spacer. Cost of spacers new is around $200.

For running 315/35 tires in the rear, you'll need a 17x11 rear wheel. The specs of the wheels in the eBay ad are correct for 84-87 cars.

The buy it now price for those wheel seems pretty cheap.

The AFS wheels will run twice that. I have AFS wheels on both my 92 and 87 and they are high-quality wheels.

I have the AFS 17" ZR1 with 275/40's all around. I have heard of some stuffing 18" on the rear axle and even the 17x11 with 315 on the rear. I havent heard if they had problems with rubbing.
