Default Wheel Question

Does anyone know if 17" wheels from a 1989 C4 will fit a 1996 without problem? Thanks. - C.

You may have problems with the clearance of the calipers. We use a 3/4" adaptor to clear C-5 the calipers on our C-5 to C-4 caliper conversion for the C-4 sawblade rims. The ZR-1 and the GS rims will bolt right on with no clearance problems. I don't know how far out of the wheel wells the sawblades will stick-out from the adaptors, you'll have to measure. :D
