C5-C6 wheels
Hi Guys, Can any member tell me if C5-C6 wheel set (17-18 front & 18-19) inch wheels will fit on my 84Corvette.
I already have a set of 1"spacers to fit the 1988 on rims.
I am interested in getting a set from the USA ,but need to know that they fit,(costly exercise if they don't).
My preferred option is 17x 9.5 front,18x 9.5 10 for the rears
Thanks for any help

Backspace/offset dimensions are as follows:
C5 (coupe/vert):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset = 7.03" backspace
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset = 7.81" backspace
C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset = 7.38" backspace
Rear 18x10.5", 58mm offset = 8.03" backspace
C6 (coupe/vert):
Front 18x8.5", 56mm offset = 6.95" backspace
Rear 19x10", 79mm offset = 8.61" backspace
C6 Z06 and C6 GrandSport:
Front 18x9.5", 40mm offset = 6.82" backspace
Rear 19x12", 59mm offset = 8.82" backspace
C5 and C6 wheel circle:
5 on 4.75" (120.65MM)
There is also a wheel offset calculator here...

And tire size calculator here...

You would need to know what your C4 OEM tire size and offsets are to compare how the new setup would fit...move in closer to the strut and/or stick out past the fender. Not sure if the C4 is the same bolt pattern, but likely it is...just confirm before purchasing.
Good Luck!
