Default Will this look dumb (FM5's on a C5)?

I have a set of Fikse FM5's that I was using on my Z28 but I rarely use them anymore, they are 17X11 and 17X9.5, typical ZR1 offset. I wonder how they would look on my C5? I'm afraid the 17" rear rim might look bad. I have 285's on the fronts and 315 DR's out back.

yea i think your right, they would probably look terrible...you know i'm feeling charitable, i mean i guess i could take them off your hands, them being not used and in the way and all




side note, i think they look great on vette's..I'm not sure if the offset would be right though??

I don't think they'd look small at all. I think you should just slam the vette down on them. If it doesn't work out just mail them to me. I have a I need FM5s fund going right now and your donation could save my life.....

Bolt them up and then make your decision. I have 4 17" rims on my C5.

Yeah, I personally think that it would just look so, soooo horrible that people would'nt even recognize that it's a C5. So, to save you from all the horrific comments and lifetime embarrassment....I suggest that you imediately send them to me before you make the biggest mistake of your life!!!

^ Those are 18's. No doubt it will look better staggered, but the 17's all the way around look good too!
