Default '93 ZR1 Front Wheels vs '93-'96 Rear Wheels

Are they the same part/casting number or just the same size? I am looking for a couple to complete a set a would like to know if they are correct or just happen to fit.

I have the same question regarding the '96 CE wheels with respect to A Molds.

All year ZR-1 fronts are 9.5 @ 56 and any C4 regardless of year that has a 9.5 @ 56 would be the same as the front of a ZR-1 car. Only the rears of the ZR-1 are "application specific" 11 @ 36. A GS A-mold 11 @ 50 is a good fit for the rear using longer wheel-studs and a ''pass-through" hub-centric spacer. You can "fiddle with/tweak" the fitment with the 11 @ 50.

The 93 ZR-1 fronts are the same as the base model 93-96 C4 rears. The 96 CE fronts can be either 8.5 or 9.5 depending upon the option, the rears are 9.5. There is also an identical Camaro SS wheel that is 9". The 96 GS uses 9.5 frt and the special to it 11x50 rear.

I Believe the casting numbers are the same, size for size.

Thanks for the help fellas. I may have found a set (4) of Z07 wheels which would complete the set and then some. Now I will have to find two A Molds for the fronts as well.
