Wheel size PLEASE HELP!!!

[Dog House]

Will the sawblade wheels from a 94 which are 17 x 10 fit on the rear of my 89 coupe? If so what size tire would be used? Thanks!

Sawblade wheels on a 94 are not 17x10. No C4 came from the factory with that wheel size. They're either 17x8.5 or 17x9.5 and both will fit an 89.

Thanks! Is there any way to repair the coating that is on the wheels. The ones on my car are peeling?

There is a stripping process. I did mine many many years ago. It was extensive then. They came out looking very good. I actually probably bought the chemicals through mid america.

Got some time?
Strip clearcoat with aircraft grade paint stripper and start wet sanding.Use the finest you can that will remove the water marks left by cracked clear coat and work your way up to #1500 grit. Can then polish with a buff wheel
Some clearcoat again , some of us just polish regular with Mothers

Time? Have to make time. Thanksfor the help!

I chose not to put clear coat back on my wheels as I was told it would dull the appearance. I polish my regularly. However I do believe that if they are not clear coated they are somewhat vulnerable to certain chemicals.
