C5 Wagon Wheels?
>Would the front 17" C5 rims also fit the third gen rear with a 2" spacer? I really don't want 18" in the rear and 17's are easier to find.

Re: C5 Wagon Wheels?
My understanding is yes, but wait for someone who has them on the car. My C5 wheels are still in the garage.
My take is the only drawback to the C5s is 18s are more spendy. Others prefer the 4th Gen wheels. Its take your pick.

Re: C5 Wagon Wheels?
So I can put the 17" fronts on the rear with the 2" spacers?

Stan the backspacing on both of the 17" and 18" Wagon wheels are the same so you should have no problem using the 17's on the back of the car with those same 2" spacers.
