Default c4 rims on a 99 camaro



Anybody seen these on a f-body?
will they fit without any modifications?
I believe they are 17"x9.5 all around

Corvette 88-96, 17x9.5 offset should be 56mm, back space = 7.3" so they should fit

Maybe because I could get a really good deal on all 4 in chrome.
I figure the 17x9.5 would have better tire grip than my current 16x8.


form or function?

do what you think is good. They may function alot better then stock on the track However, those wheels may be a bit tacky if you were using them for show

unfortunately i have seen them on a camaro before.
they look like ***. older c5(not y2ks) wheels would look better than those and they look like crap.

please dont put those on your car.

Change of plan, I'm going with a set of '97 vette wagon wheels. I will have them painted or powder coated black.

Thanks for everyones opinions
