Wheel Sizes/Offset?
Id like to upgrade to 18 & 19 dia rims on my '02 coupe and intend to go with C6 sizes for width and offset. I believe C6 widths are 8.5" front and 10" rear. I'm not sure about the offset.... or backspace. I'd like the new ones to fill out the fenders more than stock. Can anyone comment on C6 wheel fitment and look on a C5? I'm thinking the offsets are different. I'm sure this had been hashed out before, so please don't crucify me. I just could not find what I needed using the 'search'. Thanks.

The base C6 wheels will fit up front, but you will need a spacer outback for them to fit properly. The C6Z and GS wheels will fit without any spacers, but will stick out slightly in both front and back if you were wondering.

If you are talking about using GM OEM C6 wheels on your C5 then as stated above you will need adapters for the rear wheels to bring the wheel out flush to the rear fender. Fronts fit fine.
There are aftermarket C6 replica wheels available from many wheel vendors that fit the C5 without the need for adapters on the rear.
