Default Question on Rims

I have a 1995 vette and need to know if the wheels off a 2001 vette will fit on it. I know the rear wheels on a c5 are 18 in. and the 1995 are 17 in. Will the offsets be the same.
I read somewhere that they would fit a 1988 to 2004.
thanks

The stock offset on the 88-96 C4 was 56mm on a 17x9.5" wheel.

The stock offsets on the C5 were 17x8.5" 56mm in front and 18x9.5" 63mm back. I believe the bolt pattern is the same (5x120mm).

The front will obviously fit, but the wheel width is narrower. The back might stick out a little bit, but it should fit, too. I know that I have seen C5 wheels on C4's before. Maybe you should ask the question in C4 General or the Wheels and Tires section. I'm sure someone there will be able to provide real life experience.

Thanks for responding to my question, I'm sure they will fit also.
