C6 wheels on C5 questions
Having a hard time finding polished C5 Speedline wheels, so I am thinking of getting polished C6 wheels. There seems to be a bunch for sale lately at prices of $600-700 for a set of 4.
Now the questions:
1. Will they fit with no spacers? Or other modifications?
2. Can I reprogram the wheel sizes with the Hypertech that I now use?
3. Will the sensors on the C6 wheel work with my '02 vert?
4. If they fit and I can reprogram, is there any other problems lurking out there that I haven't mentioned? Aside from better gas mileage at cruise and slower acceleration?
Thanks in advance.

C6 rims
I have a set of C-6 rims from Discount tire on my 97 coupe. Waaaayyyy cool looking!!! Any wheels put on a C-5 require the correct c-5 wheel sensor (either the 1997-2000 or 2001-2004 sensor). No spacers required if you stay with the stock widths.

If you want C6 wheels on your C5, buy repros that are made in C5 offsets. The OEM wheels coming right off of a C6 will NOT work on your C5.
Been there, tried to do that.. no go. Too much positive offset.
