Default C7 wheels to C3 adapters

I have a standard C7 wheel/tire set that I'd like to put on my 1977 Corvette. I've read tons on the forum about the different vendors, trailing arms, etc... but what size adapter do I need for the front and the back?

Give this a try

http://www.corvettecentral.com/wheel-offset/

Stock 77 YJ8 Alum wheel is 15 x8 -12mm offset.

Stock C7 front = 19 or 18" x 8.5" with +56 offset

Stock C7 Rear = 19 x 10 with +79 offset.
