difference in C4 wheels?
I've seen some posts that talk about wheel spacers/adapters for early C4's. What is this about? What years interchage? Will 91 sawblades bolt onto my 85? TIA. :cheers:

Not without adapters. There 17" and I believe have a different offset or back spacing. You can purchase the adapters from MAD or Central Corvette. You might want to stay away from the ZR-1 versions because the rear size is 17X11 and would make your tires stick out from under the wheel wells. However using the GS flares will accomodate the 17X11's and give your ride that sinister look. 84 CF 91 ZR-1

84-87 have a 38mm offset
88-96 have a 52mm offset
the offset will affect how the wheels sit in or out, whether they rub the fender well or anything else
aftermarket wheels that dont have the correct offset need adapters, stock wheels from a year without the correct offset need adapters
