Wheel Offset ?
I am going to replace the stock wheels on my 98 vette and go from the 17 front, 18 rear, to all 18 x 9.5. Could someone help me with the correct offsets I will need? Thanks,

Approx 54mm would be about best.
You have a lot of room to play with in the rear, the OE 18x9.5" rear wheel offset is 65mm, but you could go as low as 45mm if you wanted them to fit the fender better and not be tucked in so far.
I guess most people who decide to go 18x9.5" all around are usually looking at reproduction stock type wheels, which are premade in a certain offset. If the wheels you're looking at are in that offset ballpark, you should be fine.
