Back spacing is waaaaaay different. The car will look knock-knee if they even fit without rubbing. My guess is no.

There are people who make REPLICAS that fit C4s. Just google it!!
 
ive seen it done tons of times. The tires wont fit because the C5 rims are 17s up front and 18s rear. I bel;ieve your wheels are 16 or 17.
 
C4 vs C5

My wheels are 17x9.5 was told 88-96 c C4s would except those wheels (C5),
its the stock tires that I was hoping would work.
Thanks Robert
