Will these bolt right on? Are they worth $1100
Will these bolt right on? Are they worth $1100
corvette wheels (bolt patter 5x4.75 / 5x120.65) with eight (8 yes 8) tires........ 4 of them that are already mounted and balanced on the wheels that you see. These wheels come with the center caps, all locking lug nuts, even the high dollar tire pressure sensors for a 97-2000 corvette (All of them Work)
The two rear wheels are 18 inch and the two front are 17 inch off of a C5 Vette
18 inch in the rear and 2 17 inch in the front. The tire sizes in the rear are 275/40/18 and in the front they are 245/45/17.
This guy wants 1100 for 8 tires plus non chrome C-5 vette wheels.. Is that worth the money?
Thanks Bill

The factory C5 wheels ae 17x8.5" 56mm offset in the front, and 18x9.5" 65mm offset in the back. That means they will bolt right up, and will not hit anything, but the rear wheels are going to be sunk in the wheel well a bit, not out by the edge of the fender.
The front tire size matches your 94 tires, if your car had the Z-rated tire option (RPO "QLC") from the factory. The rear tires will be about 1" larger in diameter than the stock 4th Gen Z-rated tires, requiring a PCM correction for the speedo.
One other potential problem... your 94, like all 93-96 4th Gen has a larger hub diameter on the rear axles than on the front. As a result, many later model wheels from F-Bodys and Corvettes may not fit over the rear hub. If that happens, you will have to lightly grind the inner diameter of the hub hole on the wheel, until it fits freely over the axle hub... common problem, and no big deal. You just have to make sure you don't try and force the wheel on the hub, or you could damage the wheel.
