wheel/offset opinion
hey guys im new to the corvette world, i used to own a g35 and i was very familiar with the offsets to stance the car correctly and whatnot, but im unfamiliar with the corvette's widths and offsets.
i was wondering if you guys were able to tell me if an 18x9 +47 front and a 18x10 +47 rear would fit the car right? would the wheel be sunken in? flush? or poking out too much?
thank you
p.s. i apologize if this is in the wrong section

The 18x9 47mm in the front will stick out .6" farther than OEM which is no problem. The 18x10 47mm on the rear will stick out 1.25" farther than OEM which is quite a bit. It can work for track use but I doubt you'll want it on the street. Inside clearances for both are fine. That said you'll be happier with wheels closer to what really fits.
