I'm thinking of going with the 16" drag radials this year. Anyone have a couple F-body wheels (or any other 16" wheel that will work) kicking around that you'd like to sell?

Is there a list somewhere that points out which 16" F-body wheels will fit our car? I've been told that the 16" rims require a little "massaging" to the upper arm in the rear.

Thanks!

True. Generally speaking, in order to fit any 16" rim on the rear of a C5 one has to hammer or grind down that upper arm bolt. In the case of the 4th gen F-body 16" rims most do fit but I do believe that there could still be further issues when using at least some of them. From what I've been able to tell it might be a few styles of the older (1993-1995?) 16" F-body rims that might not fit on a C5 even with the modification done, but don't quote me.
