you will need a spacer plate, best quality is the VetteBrakes version http://www.vettebrakes.com

I know i have said it before but the wide 5 spokes look better on a C-4 then a C-5
Yes, you will need adaptors as mentoned above. Check sig to see how they look on a 93.

Re: C5 wheels on my '85 (vader86)
I would recommend to get the adapters from HR Springs, that way you can get the EXACT right size that you need, based upon stock backspacing vs. C5 backspacing, rather than just throwing on 3/4" adapters.
