why won't these rims fit??
My friend gave me a set of C5 rims to use and the rear ones (18x10.5) don't fit. The hub seems like it is too big for the rims. The front ones fit fine. Any suggestions??

There is a very small lip on the inside of the rim that fits over the hub. You need to grind that lip off and the wheel will fit just fine. I had to do the very same thing to my WS6 rims to get them to fit on my car.

Crazy enough I had that same problem with the 2001 Z rims I put on my 96 Z... I just grinded out the rims some and it was all good.. no problems yet and they have been on the car for about a year and a half now.
