I put a 18x11 with a 315 tire and a+50 offset and it sat perfect in wheel well. Turned like a truck though and followed every road irregularity. My guess is a 18x10 should fit no problem with a +56 offset.

Don't know my offsets but Fikse FM/5's, 18x10 front, 18x11 rear:
Oh - and I agree with what BAM says above.
If you decide to go with Fikse let me know and I'll get my serial numbers off my wheels - that should let Fikse pull up the info. Also forum member zelement has Fikse FM/5's

It's great to know how those will look on my CE Vert! Too bad I can't lower her as much as you have because of the X-Brace.
That picture is now my wall paper....at least until I get my wheels on!
Please send me the serial numbers. I hope you don't mind, that's the exact look I was going for....and here I am thinking I was the only one! lol
Also, what tire sizes did you go with?
Thank you! Thank you!

I have 18x10.5" C5 Z06's up front (and on the rear) with 295/35-18 tires.
The OE Z06's have a 58mm offset.
Offset is the same for 88-96. 84-87 requires a different offset, or spacers.
I autocross mine, and it doesn't corner like any truck I've driven. But it does follow some of the deeper ruts in the road.

I was never really a fan of the z06 wheels on the C4, but I really like the blue body/wheel combo. looks great!!
