I have a chance to buy some C5 wheels. They are 17'' front and 18'' rear. Does anyone know if I can fit these on my 94 z28? This shop also has some C6 18'' front and 19'' rears- how about these? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

the opening in the rear wheels may need to be expanded by 1/4 inch
I put on some Z06 wheels and had to do it. That's a problem with the 93-95's. I think in 96 chevy changed it and the corvette rims will just fit onto the rears.
You can either file it yourself or do what i did, bring the 2 rims to a machine shop and have them do it.
before making the puchase, because you will probably need new tires as well, check out oe concepts on EBAY as they have brand spankin new tire/wheel combos at reasonable prices.
Unless you get lucky, don't ever assume used tires will "get you by" for the time being.
With unidirectional tires, if the prior owner did not keep them inflated, or the car aligned, or it had other issues, then they will wear incorrectly and your car will actually track wrong, vibrate etc etc etc and the "good deal" of used tires/rims becomes a not so good deal as you ended up paying top dollar for used rims (when you factor in that you ended up buying new tires)
good luck

torque is right,some wheels will have to be opened slightly for the rear.but,not by much.you can usually knock it out with a half round file.i did that on one set of wheels but the c-5 wheels went right on.

Well, someone beat me to the c6 wheels. I did get the c5's for only 200$ so I'm not too upset. They are rims only and I plan on having them powdercoated soon. Does anyone have a tire size recommendation for these? They are 17'' front and 18'' rear and going on a 94 z28 convert. As always thanks to everyone for the valuable input.
