Tires ordered. Need offset to order rims
Hello. I’m new to the forum and been searching and searching the pages for a magic number that seems to be secret.
I ordered Toyo 275/30/19 front and 345/25/20 for the rear. I do have TPE T2 fenders on my car (2”) and just would like to know the offset to order for some 19x10 front and 20x12 or 12.5 or 13 for the rear. The best I’ve found was 40mm for the front and maybe a 57 for rear. I’m unsure on the numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated
PS I DO HAVE A C5. Forgot to mention. Ordering this weekend if anyone knows the magic secret numbers. Lol.

It's not going to a magical number, it will depend on wheel brand as well. That being said, most reputable vendors who offer custom offsets can usually calculate the required offset for you.

I tried the calculator and I guess I’m a dummy to it. Lol. Never had to deal with offsets for the many trucks and cars I have and have had. If you’re saying a 35mm for rear and a 54mm for the front is a good set up I will run with it and see what the wheel manufacturer says. Is this set up for 12 12.5 or the 13 inch wheels. Any info u provide willl be grateful appreciated. I’m really trying to not be a problem or a burden but just would like to get my wheels ordered and or there way. Really appreciate al the info

If you want something more custom without breaking the bank you can check out Forgestar, and they offer custom offsets, or even look at C6Z or GS wheels as they are readily available.

I took a quick look at both brands, and seeing neither have custom offerings (from what I can tell) you will have to select their "by vehicle" option, but here is the thing...for the front you will need to search for C5, while the rears you will have to go with C6 Z06. The Cray wheels provide back spacing details, but not for the Verona. Also, the Verona's do not offer anything larger then a 10.5" width according to their website. In any case, if you go with the Cray's 20x12 you may still need to run a small spacer in the rear.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered cray eagle wheels. Was just informed that the cray Hawk are discontinued but the eagles look pretty close. Tim down in Florida at hub cap Annie was a great person to deal with. Well the wait is on. 3 to 4 weeks for cut time. Thanks for all the info you all provided. Great replies and I will upload photos when they arrive and are powder coated same color as the car

Dealer gave me offset of 50 front and 47 rear. I will test fit before mount tires. Just checked on powder coated and they don’t do it in custom colors. I will hv them done here locally.

I didn’t know what wheels I wanted just the look I wanted. They showed me some examples and did all the math and I got wheel,tires and sensors that I have been happy with. They do this every day.

I currently have C6Z offset Cray Hawks (12.5”) wrapped in 345/25/20s with TPE T2 fenders. I have 25mm spacers right now, but I rub, so I plan on swapping them out for 20mm ones. Hopefully you don’t have the rubbing issues I’ve had, but my rear is fairly low.
