I saved these stats from some unknown source:

C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset, 7.38" backspace
Rear 18x10.5", 58mm offset, 8.03" backspace
=======================================

From https://www.wheel-size.com/size/chev...corvette/2003/
I found the wheel size and offset for a base c5.

c5 base:
8.5Jx17, ET58mm (offset), 6.53" backspace (?)
9.5Jx18, ET65mm (offset), 7.32" backspace (?)

I converted the backspacing figures above from:
