Everyone with corvette c4 wheels!!!!

If you have them chime in asap!

Basically I'm looking to buy a set soon, they look great and they are all over Craiglist for dirt cheap.

I want to know everything so I know what to run.

Are you using....

16s or 17s?
What offset?
What width?
What adapters?
What tire size?
Any and what mods done to clear from rubbing etc.


Its hard to find info on these things so I figured I would give this a shot! thanks guys!

Do a search, you'll find a few pics. You also might want to ask StanceDesign.

Thanks!

this makes no sense - Corvettes use 5 lug, and these wheels are 8.5 to 9.5" wide too.

Which MINI do you have? R53, R56 or something else. This is important because the wheel bolt or stud for each is different thickness/diameter and thread pitch which will be a problem for a wheel adapter 4 lug to 5 lug conversion. R56 is the problem, R53 the earliest MINI or R50 is fine.

see discussion

Can be done.
