Default Rim ? 2000-2004 on a 88

Does anyone no If the rear 5 star rims from a 2000 thru 2004,well fit on the rear of a 1988 ? I bought some after market rims a few years ago,and they are all 18x8 Im tired of the rear ones looking so small. So im trying to get a hold of some 18x9.5 for the rear. So im thinking this might work ? thanks.

There are many using the C5 wheels on '88 and up C4s with no issues as far as I know. I'm using the ZO6 wheels on my '95 and they fit beautifully. They are 10.5 rear and 9.5 front and don't stick out any further than the stock sawblades. You should have no problems.

They will fit w/ no problems. Use 275/35 or 285/35 tires with them. They will sit in a little bit more than your stock sawblades because of the offset. C5 offset is 69mm while C4 offset is 56mm. It's roughly a 1/2" difference so it wont be that noticeable. By the way I'm also running Z06 wheels on my car and I just love the way they look.

Will they work on a 85 or do I have to get adapters?

They'll fit fine on '88 and later years. Earlier c4's need adapters.
