Default 17x11 on front of 95?

Does anyone know if 17x11 will fit on front of 95 coupe? I know my brother had 17x11 squared on his 86 but don't know the offsets and I know 95 is different thanks in advance for any information.

I'll throw you this... I know that guys have run 335's on the front of c4's before on the track so I'm guessing it's possible.

I'm pretty sure that my wheels are 10" up front and 11 or 11.5" in the rear.

I've got 18×10.5 (C5 Z06) wheels on the front of mine.* wheels are 58mm offset and I use a 1/8 spacer.* No tires rubbing at full lock.

I have heard from guys in my corvette club that a 17x11 wheel with 50mm offset will fit on the front with very minor tire rubbing at full lock....

I'm not in DMITTZ's club, but I can verify that fitment for any 88-96 C4, except that I don't even have tire rubbing at full lock. 50mm offset is the key for an 88+ C4. I have a set of 17x11, 17x11.5, and 18.x11 wheels for my 96 C4; all with 315-width tires. They fit at all four corners, no problem. The offsets are different for those later C4s than for an early (84-87) C4, but any C4 will accept an 11" wheel with 315 tires up front.
