C5 Wheels on a '91

Do guys know if it is possible to put C5 wheels on a thirdgen with drum brakes in the back. If so what needs to be done: spacers?

I think you're going to have to use a fourth gen rear end. which will allow you to use disc brakes as well.

Doesn't "have" to use the 4th gen rear. The 4th gen rear is pretty much a direct swap with minimal changes though, when using 4th gen or vette wheels. Either a 4th gen rear with spacers in the front combo, or the stock 3rd gen rear with spacers all around will both work.

YES

I have a 1991 RS, I have drums in the rear. I am currently running 18x9.5 C5's all the way around. I just used 2in spacers in front and 1.5in spacers in rear.
