Default Wheel questions again

I know that somewhere there was a tech article about what rims will fit a c3 with offset trailing arms, but I can't find it.

I know that the TT2s fit, 5.75 bolt pattern but what is the offset if I wanted to get custom wheels by centerline?

I'm looking for 17x8 in the front and 17 x 10 in the rear with the offset TA.

I did a search and couldn't find the tech article.

Thanks for the info.

With a 17X10 and a 5.5 backspace offset arm are not needed. I am running 18X10 with a 5.5 backspace with stock arms on mine. The offsets are needed with 15 and some 16 inch wide rims. The 17 and 18s clear with the right backspacing.

Since I already have the offset arms, should I still go with the standard backspacing?
