C4 wheel bolt pattern?

[Ron B.]

Hi
I have a set 0f front and rear C4 suspensions that I picked up at a swap meet for a special project.. My problem is that the bolt patterns do not match.. Front is 4 3/4" rear is 4 1/2 or metric equiv.. Need years of pattern use so I can order correct wheel bearing /hub assemblies..to match front & rear? Parts catalogs say one hub ass'y fits 84-96?
Thanks
Ron

Re: C4 wheel bolt pattern?

All C4 wheel bearing assemblies have 4-3/4" bolt circles.

If the rear suspension you bought has 4-1/2" bolt circle, it's because someone installed the wrong bearing assembly.

I agree. No C4 Corvette ever was originally built with a 4-1/2" bolt circle wheel. In fact, if they had been built with a 4-3/4" front and 4-1/2" rear, then the spare tire would not have been usable on the rear wheels. No way would GM ever have done something like that.
