Well you can get some less expensive but I dont know if I would trust them! !

I have seen few people run the skinny wheels from spare tires up front and I believe Camaro rear wheels in the rear! !

Im sure someone will post soon !

I have 97-99 stock 17" wheels for the rear with Mickey Thompson ET Streets and plan on buying some front 17" skinnies from Greg Weld. They are the 92-Star and they are 17x4.5" and I think I saw them for under $200. They havent made them yet I dont think but when they do I plan on buying them. Then later down the road I'll buy the rear 17x8 for the rear. Just suggestion to look into. Good Luck!

I personally think the GTO spares look a little stupid on C5's. They are sunk in looking

No, you will have to do a little modification to the rear spindle. Just a little grinding on the top of the cap and spindle. No removal of parts.

Grind on both sides of the spindle tabs and also in the back of the cap- about 1/8th inch each.
