An 8" wide wheel is 1/2" narrower than stock for the front of a C5.
Stock sizes are 17x8.5 front with a 59mm offset and 18x9.5 with a 63mm offset rear. Stock C5 Z06 is 17x9.5 and 18x10.5.....same offsets.

OK, here are some numbers that were posted here on the forum by another member:
Offset dimensions are as follows:
C5 (coupe/convertible):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset
C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset
Rear 18x10.5", 58mm offset
So, which is correct? Just trying to make sure I have the correct info for future reference.
