Default wheel expert needed

Hey Guys...does anyone know if I can run Y2K C5 wheels on my 92? I understand that the fronts are 17x8.5. I have the ZR-1 13" brakes on my front. I am concerned about any clearance problems I might encounter with calipers etc...
Thanks

I've seen a few cars with C5 wheels and I know they will fit. There are even a few members here who have them.

What I want to know is, why would you want to take off a 9.5 inch wheel, to put on an 8.5?

Maybe if you used rear wheels (18x9.5) that would be REAL trick!

Yea, your probably right about the 18x9.5. on all 4's. I like the looks of the C5 Y2K open wheel look. I thought that the 17"/18" combo would give a slight rake to the car which might look good. Maybe I'll give it a little more thought.

As long as all the tires are the same size because of the ABS. If the tires are going different speeds, it will set ABS codes.
