Hi,my friend...welcome to the forum.A '94,you say??? Have you considered the Grand Sport wheels,like I have on my my '96? It's a C4 wheel,technically,and will fit your car like hand in glove.Mine are 17X9.5 front,with 275/ZR17 in the front,and 17X11 with 315/35/ZR17 rear.If you decide not to get them,remember the wheel size....it's critical if you want a proper fit.But in my opinion,the GS wheels look great on any C4.You have a later model,like I do(mine is a VERY late-build'96 C4),so you do not need spacers at all....but if you decide to go with a newer-style wheel,you may need to make some adjustments.The C5 and newer wheel may not exactly fit our C4 the way we want them to....just the nature of the beast.Whatever your decision regarding your wheels may be,I hope you make the best of it,and you're happy.After all,it's a Vette!! Make it yours!!! Welcome aboard!! Joe.

A friend of mine has a 94 Grand Sport with oversize Front and Rear tires .......... Looks sweet.
But doesn't theGrand Sport havewheel well skirts ? Up here in Canada they are required, by law, because the tires would stick out to far from body.

315/35's fit on our 94's, they may stick out just a tad. I have the ZR1 wheels on mine (9.5" all around) with 56mm offset for the 9.5" (front). The 11" wheels that are available for these years have a 50mm offset.
