    Default Has anyone did this?

    Would it hurt to get 17x91/2 wheels and put 275-40-17 all the around so I
    could rotate front to back? Any opinions?

    If your interested, I have a set ob BBS 17x9.5 3 piece wheels which I have just totaly reworked, minus the center caps, which I would be willing to part with, since I sold my C4 and moved up to a C5. Steve.

    Why would it hurt? You do realize depending on the OPTION starting in 1989 I believe, the C4 came equipt that way from the factory.

    From 89 to 92 all Vettes, except ZR1's, came with 17x9.5 wheels and 275/40 tires all around. In 93, base suspension cars got the 8.5 wheels in the front - Z07 or Z51 cars got the 9.5.

    Yes they fit and yes you can rotate them if you desire.
