C5 Wheel Offset Help
I found a black Friday deal on a set of custom rims. However, the supplier does not generally deal with corvettes so I am most likely going to have to piece together the sizing/offsets myself. Does anyone have any idea what the rough offset on this setup is?

When discussing this with him in his original thread he said the 19x12 had less offset than c6 z06 wheels I have on mine. They are 59 mm with a 1/8 spacer so not to rub. They look like this.

So not to rub would need 56mm offset.

They are C6Z fitment wheels with slightly stretched tires to accommodate for the lower offset. I believe they are 44 front and 51 rear. I measured with a straight edge and a ruler so my measurements could be slightly off considering I used a 2x4 as a makeshift straightedge

I think I've settled on 19x10.5 +57 275/30/19 fronts and 19x11.5 +55 305/30/19 rears.
Thanks for the help guys.
