Default C5 wheels on a C4?

Hey,

is it possible to use 97-99 / 00-02 C5 wheels on a C4? Which modifications have to be done, if any?

Thank you for your support

Just bolt them on...

If you look in the C4 general section...you'll see a few posts with C4's with C5 wheels.

yes it is possible, but it depends on the year of the C4 and whether it had 17"s or not. If it didnt then you will have to use a spacer.

The bolt right on, but the don't have the correct offset. They will sit inward about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Most people that have them say it isn't noticable, but you can always add a spacer to take up the space.

I've had a set for about a year now but I've been saving up for rubber and an adapter kit. Can I just get spacers for my 84 and call it good? That would be awesome!

Can anyone let us know what we'd need to go with?

Thanks!
