This may sound harsh, but...
Any reputable manufacturer should have knowlegable sales reps to help you select the correct wheel for your C5 (such as CCW).
If they can't... shop elsewhere (like CCW).
Just my .02

Sorry man... I was out of line.
Your 9" wheel is probably 10" wide (for real). It is tough to use offset to fit wheels. Backspacing is prefered, as it is a measurement (where as offset is a calculation). Backspacing is key. I think if you Google or search on here, you will be able to figure out what offset or backspacing will get those wheels tucked in proper w/o rubbing.
Good luck.
Again, sorry for the first reply!

OOPS!!! Had to fix some errors...
I did some quick number crunching...
OEM 18x8.5 wheel (9.5" wide?) has 54mm offset or 6.95" backspacing (or 2.55" front spacing)
The 9" wheel (well, 10") would need 10" - 2.55" to have the same distance from the wheel hub face (that mates to the rotor hat) to the front lip... or 7.45" of backspacing.
I hope somebody else will verify and check my calculations for me and you!

The Bolt Pattern is Wrong! The rest doesn't matter.
