Default C4 Center Cap Sizes
I've got a set of '93-'96 Sawblades that I'm going to have chromed and I need chrome center caps. I've found a set on eBay that look correct but the seller states they are for 1990 cars. The caps have the newer emblem with the red outlined bowtie with a black surround instead of the gold bowtie with a red surround that I thought cars up through 1990 had.

The seller stated the tab-to-tab diameter is 2.5". Will these caps fit my wheels?

Thanks.

NO they won't work. The '90 cap is 2.46 and the '91+ cap is 2.65 tab to tab. All center caps '91+ are the same regardless of wheel type

Thanks for the quick reply.

Finding chrome '91-'96 caps is a PITA.

I would NOT think so. You just need to determine if you want a plain chrome cap or if you want something with the C4 emblem OR chrome with just a center ring. There's maybe 5000 choices on eBay

I can find blanks and aftermarket caps with generic emblems, but OEM or OEM looking caps are hard to find these days it seems.
