I'm a idiot... I just remembered I have spare fronts but not rears. I will dig them out and measure the fronts tonight. It will still be a few weeks on the rears since I will have to remove them from the car.
The 13" wide wheel needs a really wide tire. The widest 17" tire I could find for the rear was 335/35R17 which gives you a stretched look for the sidewall (as you can see in the picture). I went with 275’s on the front to match the same stretch as the rears. If I went with 315’s for the front the sidewall would have a much flatter look. Also, Michelin didn't made a 315/35R17 in the Pilot Sport PS2's. The 315's would probably better for road contact. The difference in revs per mile for the 275’s vs. 335’s is about 2%.
I don't plan to take my wheels off soon so hopefully Daniel can get you the offset and backspace measurements.

The rims are so different compared to many of the rims on vettes, I like em though they work!
12 inch total. This is the front wheel that 98pacecar is running. This is the "11 inch" Gen II Dymag wheel that one would run the 315/35/17 tire of a C4 on.
