I dont know about c4 rims (but I think they fit just fine) But C5 (ZO6) rims fight just fine as long as you get the 17x9s all away around. (the only problem is that you have to shave a fraction of an inch off the set you plain on using for the rears (the lip area that goes around your hub))

They will fit but appearance wise THEY won't.

I think Im actually looking at c5 rims. I dont know why I posted c4. Either way Im talking 97' + . I dont memorize all the options on vettes because unlike alot of people I really dont like vettes. Im not like alot of f-body owners who buy these cars cause they cannot afford a vette. Im not thrilled that people will associate the rims I buy with vettes but unfortunately because of the quality to price I will just put up with it.

not everybody that owns an fbody got one because they cant afford a vette...next time you ask if something will fit on your car make sure you ask about the right thing and dont get an attitude when you ask about the wrong thing

instead of saying "um no" maybe you could actually clarify what you mean so someone can help you

97-99 wheels fit...i hope you can "put up" with having a vette part on you car alright...good luck with it

Since We own a vette & 5 other cars (along with a 2000 Daytona pace car Grand prix) Then I would say Go with the Z06 rims. My husband has some on his black car & they look hot.

17x9s Corvette rims fit our cars. You just have to take off a fraction of an inch in order to get a better fit of rear wheels.

Yeah from what Im seeing I will need to get 2 pairs of front rims. Seeing as starting in 97' I think the rears are 18's. I dont really want 18's. Nice to have input from an owner, thanks.

I just dont like how alot of people relate my engine as a "vette" engine or have this pre concieved notion that f-body owners all want to own vettes. Or because I happen to put vette rims on I want a vette. Price to perfmance is right on for buying vette rims, that is the only reason I am buying them. And Im pretty sure its the ZR1 style that Im looking for. The reason I got pissed at your response was you had some pre-concieved notion that I asked what you though of the looks of the rims in question, which I did not. I was looking for facts on some rims, not opinion. I know the rims Im looking for look good on 4 th gens. Even if you dont agree thats fine, im asking for facts, not opinions on looks.

alright well sorry for the misunderstanding...

im still not sure which wheels you want though. the wheels on the 97-99 vette arent zr1's...judging from the rest of the thred i would guess you dont want zr1's (the wheels on my car are zr1's)

this is black01_z's car...those are the 97-99 vette wheels:
