Default Correct Wheels Size for a NB C4?

I did a search and couldn't find the specific answer. But, tomorrow, I'm about to pickup a set of turbo twists wheels. Can I use the following for a 95' C4?

The two rear wheels are 18x10 ET65, and the two fronts are 18x8 ET50


Thanks,

Ken

Ken,
Those numbers should work fine. I think the ideal factory front size (for an 8" rim) is 52mm offset. The 50mm version would therefore give a 4mm wider track.

The rears are fine.

Hey Ken, that's what I have on mine. I have a '96 C4.

if the fronts are 50mm offset they are most likely the 7.5" wheels, which are fine, although 8" is preferable. here are the part nos. and specs:

........Wheel......................Technology (hollow)............. Turbo Look (solid spoke)
7.5x18 ET50 (Front).........993.362.134.05......................993.362.134.06--24.91 lb
8x18 ET52 (Front).......993.362.136.00--19.95 lb.........993.362.136.01--25.57 lb
10x18 ET65 (R-NB)......993.362.140.01--23.36 lb.........993.362.140.04--29.32 lb
10x18 ET40 (R-WB).....993.362.140.00--25.13 lb.........993.362.140.03--31.08 lb
