You should contact andris skulte www.skulte.com , and beg him to make you a set of his adapters. I have one for my C5 wheels and they are great, but word I heard is that he is not making them any longer.

Re: 4th gen wheel question

Any 4th Gen wheel with the correct spacer will fit. I'm running 94 T/A wheels that are 16x8 +55 offset. Up front I used a 2.25" spacer and in back I used a 1.50" spacer. With those spacers the front whees are now a zero offset wheel and the rears are a +15 offset wheel which are the same as the stock GTA lace wheels. Here are some pics. I got the spacers from www.ezaccessory.com I would suggest them, they're very high quality. Also I can help you figure out the spacers you need if you want.

Features:
6061 T6 billet aluminum
CNC machined
pressed-in studs included
open end lug nuts included
