will C5 Corvette rims fit on an FD?

I saw a 1999 C5 with the 5spoke magnesium rims, and i really like the looks of them because theyre similar to the Mazdaspeed MS-01 (forgive me if im wrong). And ive heard they weigh only 12lbs Anyone know if they have the correct bolt pattern/offset and opinions on a staggered 17x8.5 and a 18x9.5 setup?

I think they are 5x4.75" bolt pattern (we are 5x4.5"). So they won't fit. Or at least I think that is true. If someone knows better, please post.

damn...I liked the idea of a rim that was larger and lighter than stock. Onto the NEXT rim... The new Carrera skinny 5spokes also caught my eye. Any measurements on those?

The C5 mag rims do NOT weigh 12 lbs....

And no, NONE of the Porsche rims will fit.

Negative, Ghost Rider... the pattern is full.

Max was right...

FD = 5 x 114.3mm = 5 x 4.5" = Ford
Chevy = 5 x 4.75" = No dice
