Default Wheel specifications

Can anyone tell me the exact specifications for an oem '01 ZO6 wheel, front and back. I need the backspacing and offset info to order a new set of custom wheels. I would like to find the infor rather than take the measurements myself. It would be a big help! Thanks

Did you try search?
How about asking the wheel shop you are buying from? When I bought my wheels I asked for correct off set and spacing for a C5 and that is what I got. They did there homework...
If I knew I would tell you.

Front: 17x9.5", 54mm offset, 7.375" backspace.
Rear: 18x10.5", 58mm offset, 8.033" backspace.


If you alter the widths, offset values will also change.

I'm ordering 9.5x18 fronts, 11x19 rear. What will the .5 inch change in the rear? Thanks
The IForged staff told me not to worry about it, just to indicate that I wanted OEM specifications but I just want to get it down on paper to make sure. Thanks for the information.

Offset for the front, keep the same - 54mm.

Offset for the 11" rear, 63-64mm offset would keep the wheel fitting flush with the fender the same as stock, with slightly more (8.5") backspace.

Thanks very much for the valuable information. I forwarded it to John at Autobuffs who is processing my wheel order with IForged. I'm sure they know all this stuff but it makes me feel better to let them know its important to me to get it right. I sure don't want to get a set of wheels that stick out too far. Thanks again,
Phil
