Default wheel questiony

Will the rear wheels and tires (18" x 9-1/2") fit on the rear of my 95 coupe? It has 17" x 8-1/2". Thanks Randy Anders

Do you have 8 1/2" wide rear rims??
I think a 95 has 9 1/2" rims...

Are you referring to C5 rear wheels because those were the only ones which were 18x9.5? The wheels and tires will fit. The tires will be too tall and your speedometer and acceleration will be a little bit off.

You can fit a wider rim under there if you'd like also. The ZR1 rims were 11" wide so you shouldn't have any problems with what you are wanting to do.
