Default C4 Wheel Question Plz Help...

Ok I have a question to anyone out there that has done this and if ya have pictures of yours even better WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THEM.

I have a 1989 c4 I have Federal tires on my 17x 9.5 stock c4 rims. they are 255/40/r17

Option one for me is the O.E replica Z06 rims that are 17.9.5 front and 18x 10.5 rear. tomswheelz

Question I haveis do I need to make any mods to my rear or can I just simple put the 18x 10.5 on the rear and drive?

obviously I could keep my current two front tires and buy two new ones for the rear.

So any recommended tires for the rear that anyones using?

Can I install the ZO6 O.E replica rims 18x10.5 on my rear?

no mods that I am aware of. Corvettes from 1989 to current share the same offset (ZR1 not included).

The C4 can deal with upto 11" wide rears (think Grand Sport) without issue.

I have zr-1's 17x11 with 315's and have no problem. They sick out about 1/2 an inch from the fender but the look of the fat tire wakes the car up
