Default Wheel Fitment

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out if I can run 9X18" 50mm offset 5x130 bolt pattern in front & rear of my Narrow Body 1992 C2. No suspension changes made on it either. Thanks guys

My big concern is the 9" on the front. Thanks

My concern also. The car is designed to have wider wheels at the rear. I would expect 9" wheels at the front to destabilise the balance of the handling. Usual fitment it 7J at the front, 9J at the rear.

Regards

Dave

Mine too

But maybe if you put a 225/40/18 tire on it you'll pass. Your SUV ride height helps in that department.

I'd wait on more knowledgeable people to chime in as well

Well, that's kind of the way that I am leaning too. I found a great deal on 4 3piece wheels that are 18, but unfortunately they are all 9 Inch.8067_1.jpg

Here's a pic

I don't think it looks like an SUV
