no. The Fbody wheels have different offset. Look goofy.

Check www.tirerack.com (Guru Sponsor, see banners).

There are a number of 16" rims by Craeger and American Racing that should work for you.

hey thanks boss!!!! i do that

http://tomzwheels.com/catalog/product ... /23_28_32/products_id/675

now ats wud im talkin bout willis!!! i dig them ols coolers...now bring s mo questions ,,,i think im runnin 85.s front n 9.5s rear stock 84 z51 package....so kin the 8"er run a fat nuff tire to look as fat as the 9.5 rears??? i do prefer 9.5 all round ...then kin rotate too

If it was me, I would actually consider upgrading to a 17" rim. The 275/40/17 is a great look for any vintage C4 and allows for a standard rim width (9.5") all around. Just be sure the offsets are right.

hey bog er anybody sure of the offset n willin ta save a lazy azz the time ta look it up..ive had it in my head n on my desk a few times but hey it jus dont stick fer me..yet thanks paps

ok lemme correct me!!!is the correct offset im after fer 84 6.75 in american proud fuggan inches n also called 38 mm??? 5x4.75x 6.75 backspace heyuh am i right on er fugged up (now jus answer the question fellas ,,,no need fer persanal veiws here waahahahahaa ) sarry some of us r simply fugged up n ok wid it...ok back on topic now 5x4.75- 6.75 backspace correct

offset is different than backspacing. It's either a positive or negative number and ALWAYS measured in metric.

Offset is how far the hub face is from the centerline of the rim. Postive is where the hub is pushed out (much like a FWD rim) and negative is where the hub is set back towards the car, think an old school set of reverse mags.

Backspacing is how far the hub is from the rims inside edge.

With all of that said, yours runs the 38mm offset. Or something very close to that. So anything within a MM or 2 will be ok. I suspect any rim you shop for the C4 will be measure in this manner.

I knew someone in Mich that used to autocross on BBS's

Nice looking wheels.

I believe you can get what's on my car in 16's, any width and offset you want.

You can get 17" tires starting around $90 for a decent tire and it opens up tons of options on wheels. How much are the 16s you're pricing out?

yeup boss 38 mm is it,,,i checked centerline rims n the legends or meteor series r 16x9.5 n costum offset made (fer $300 a piece!!!)100 shippin (fum cal . to me) n 3 wks wait ta make em...so needless ta say im still lookin...plus fer the 17 rim n tire deals out there,,,mmmm maybe ill hafta change me mind...still have couple others to check..n yes sir i read yer post of short n to the point in tech..n i r sarry...this could have well been in caht er what evo....

stock 2000 c5 tires n wheels 245/70/zr/17 n 245/40/zr/18s sumitomo tires (bout 75%) ...will they bolt right up???
n is a grand good price er nawt (deliverd) thanks paps

Will bolt up alright, but the backspacing will be off, I think. Wasn't it '88 when they changed it?

The rears are gonna sit too far in. You can use a spacer, but I have an irrational fear of those.

Somebody make sure I'm right about the backspacing, please. I don't wanna steer pappy wrong.

Oh, and the 70 on the front sounds weird. Are you sure it's not 50?

cheeyut i r sarry cs...we awready know i cant type ...i meant 245/40/zr/17 n 18s... i rekon i have a chart somewhere at home to,,,but at werk n day dreamin a bit...

That's a really short tire, maybe only 24.8" compared to your stock 26" tires.

Try 245/45-17 255/45-17 or 275/40-17.

For 16" wheels, add 5 to the middle number.

thanks cc...the mo i read n think ...the more i realize i dont know jack about tires n wheels (cars anyways) in my jeep daze wes talkin 10"steel wheels 4"backspace n 15x12x33.5...i maybe better keep learnin a lil mo ...i kinda figured theys all like the same hieght in general (thats why taller rims has skinny lil rubbar)..main plan is fill the wheel well the same as is dig ...thanks again felaa

nuther dumb question what c3 wheels will ifn any will hook up on c4s...alos will someone post that wheel chart..i saved it but well hey i cant find it anywhere..thanks paps

You can get the backs to fit, but getting them to clear your front brakes will be a challenge.

I have some C5 magnesium wheels if you're interested.

17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. Fronts are curbed pretty bad, but I'll let the set go cheap.
