Default Wheel specifications

Does anyone know where I can get accurate and verifiable specifications on my '01 ZO6 oem wheels, front and back? I'm getting ready to order a set of custom wheels and need to know the backspacing and offset. What's the difference between backspacing and offset? I can remove and measure if necessary but would like to get the exact information so if I do need to remove I can have something to compare my measurements against. I've searched my service manuals but no luck. It would be a big help to have this. Thanks

Backspacing = distance between wheel mounting surface and inner plane of wheel

Offset = distance between mounting surface of wheel and wheel centerline (in terms of width)
