Default wheel firment?

Hi

I have an 03 zo6 what is the correct offset for the front and rear?

I'm looking at the set of rims with these specs but the guys said they will not fit a zo6 only a base model c5

FRONT WHEEL SIZE: 17x9.5
FRONT WHEEL OFFSET: 54
REAR WHEEL SIZE: 18x10.5
REAR WHEEL OFFSET: 56
BOLT PATTERN: 5-120.65
HUB SIZE: 70.3

Front is 17X9.5 54mm offset
Rear is 18X10.5 58mm offset

There's a chart on page 8 of the thread below that shows the offsets for different wheels. There's also good information on how to measure the offset you need.

If you don't have the correct offset, the wheels will either stick out from the fenders, or be too far inside them. If they're inside, you can use a spacer to get the right distance. If they're outside, it won't look right. Depends on how particular you are. You can probably find out which it will be by reading the link I posted above. Is there some reason you need to have this exact set of wheels, as opposed to buying some with the correct offset?

Those will fit fine.

There is no difference between a base C5 and a Z06 as far as wheel fitment goes.

I just found a set that I really like and a great price, I dont want it to stick out not my style but with a 2mm different would you really be able to tell?

the link was a little confusing for me

You won't notice a 2mm difference.

My rears are 19x11 +55mm and they don't stick out.
