Wheel offset-confused here
based to explanations I'd guess that C5 is a negative offset....
Anyway,which rim would stick out more-the 56 0r 45 offset?
I don't want to get new wheels that would be to much inside the fenders...

Well, on my C5 I have had 4 different set of wheels, the first three look horrible.....the rear tires will stick out. Then I purchased a set of CCW Classics and Ilove the look of them. The offset is perfect! !

Here is a scheme which can help you. And wheels on C5 are positive offset. So the 45 offset will stick out more than the 56

I was told 57mm for all 4. 18x9.5. I hope that's correct!

Here's a tire / wheel sizing site that lets you play with the offset and see the difference.
