Default New to C4's - ? about wheels

The C5 is going soon and it will probably be replaced with a 85 C4 (not stock!). I'm trying to find out what size wheels will fit (NO SPACERS). Thinking about a drag set up with skinnies in front and maybe 15 x 10's in the rear or bigger. Will 15 x 4 wheels fit with the front brakes? Will 15 x 10's or 15 x 12's work in the back with MT Sportsman or Sportsman Pro tires?

Thanks for any info.

Good person to ask would be ralph, he has 15 x 3.5's on the front and 15 x 10's on the rear of his.

The 3.5's fit my '93 with no problem, but to fit the 15's on the rear, you have to grind down the caliper and use a spacer to clear everything.

I've seen guys with the older C4's using 15" rims, but never asked about details.

Not familiar with ralph, is that his forum name?
Anybody out there with 15's?
