Wheel Sizes

thinking of putting C5 magnesium wheels on my '95. Is there any problems with the magnesium wheels? Will the 17 x 9.5 and the 18 x 9.5 fit on my car or will they rub or stick out?

Thanks. :confused:

Don't know about magnesium wheels, but the sizes you mention will fit fine. I run those sizes on my 88

you don't need any spacers to run c5 wheels on 88-up, spacers are only needed for 84-87 :D

was wondering the same thing...what's that supposed to mean? the 18" rim w/ tire should be the exact same (or at least very close) height as the old rim and tire and, therefore, the old spare can still be used, no need for another one... :D
