Will these fit my car (99 vert)? they are 18x8.5 in front and 19x10 rears. I guess my main concern is offset of the rears. I've tried finding that info, but so far, unsuccessfully.
I used 20mm hub centric adapters with those offsets and it's a perfect fit. I was able to use the adapter without cutting the ends of the studs off because the rim had an indent that allowed them to fit. if not you have to trim the studs. You could use longer studs with a spacer but they are a pain to install.
Well, I bought those c7 wheels. Now I need a 20mm hub centric adapter for the rear. (if this is the wrong term, sorry) Looking for a quality one, already painted black. Also, are center caps a generic size?
Well i wasn't aware of c7 wheel cracking issue til now. Of course i've become aware after i already made purchase. However, just looked thru c7 forums, and i could be wrong, but it seems to be issue with the wheels on c7z and GS.

It's only the widebody wheels that are prone to cracking/bending. The narrow variants are good to go.
And those wheels would be fine if you don't use runflat tires. As already mentioned, the base C7 wheels are thicker and haven't had any cracking issues.
Runflat tires have a very stiff sidewall, that can contribute to cracked wheels.

Well, i'm in the market for tires, but don't plan on getting run flats.
I've got the new wheels on now. Havent driven it though (cars put away for the winter) Car looks very 4x4 right now, hasn't settled down after jacking each corner up. Put my big boy pants on and trimmed the wheel lugs.
Had trouble updoading the pics
