Offset required?
Does anyone know what kind of offset I would require for 10" wheels on the front and 12" on the rear, I'm looking in to wide arches etc etc, but I'm fairly new to Corvettes, Any ideas???

Depends on what diameter?
I can tell you that I have 18 x 12's on the rear of mine (well there actually 12.5") with 345/35-18's. I am running 4.5" backsapce and the wheel is very close to the fender lip. I would have gone with 4.75" backspacing if I where to do them again (My wheels where 18 x10 that I had widened to fit the L88 flares)
Now in front with L88 flares you can use 4.5" backspace (you just have to be careful with 15 to 17" wheels upfront with more than 4" backspace because the wheel may hit the steering linkage (it fits inside off a 18" wheel).
