2003 Milestone Edition
I need to replace the wheels on my 03 Milestone Edition and would like to use one of the Z-06 style wheels it came with. Can I just order the wheels in the same size or is there a difference in the offset. I thought I remember hearing the Z-06 had a different offset then the C-5, but my car came with "Chrome, Z06-style wheels" according to the adds. Thanks

All C5's (Z06, FRC, coupe, convertible) have the exact same hubs, spacing, etc. to fit the same wheels. The difference is that Z06s came with larger wheels from the factory, but those wheels can be put on non-Z06 C5s and they will fit with no issues.
So, just order the exact same size as what you already have and it will fit. The offset really just depends on the wheel size (a 9.5" wide wheel will have a different offset than a 10.5" wide wheel), but Z06's don't have a different offset for the same size wheel than other C5's do.
Its kinda confusing, so I hope that made sense.

C5 (coupe/convertible):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset = 7.03" backspace
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset = 7.81" backspace
Post up some info on your Milestone Edition car - not many were made (around 100 or so) and I know of five (including mine) and would encourage you to join the Milestone Edition Corvette Owners social group I created to keep track of these special edition cars.
Here's a link to the social group:

PM me if you have any questions.
