Whels and tires
Just picked up a 02 vert looking for some information regarding the wheels,would like to upgrade to 18/19 but don't know much about the offsets, really would like something like 19x11 on the rear but don't want the tires outside of the body,any suggestions would be appreciated

I used C6 wheels 18/19 as an upgrade on my 04 stick vert. Nothing needed on the front (though I did a 1/8-inch spacer). The rears will require a 3/4-inch hub-centric spacer to bring the tire close to flush with the top of the fender well.
Hope this helps.

Check the sticky above - - - the C5 Custom Wheel & Tire Data Base. Lots of useful info & pics.

I have a set of C6 wheels to go on my '04 coupe. I find that a 1" spacer in the rear looks pretty good, but it would not bother me to go with 1-1/4". I have to use about 5/8" worth of spacers on the front to barely clear my wilwood calipers. It sets the fronts out just a hair more than I like, but it's livable. The C5Z replicas, on the other hand, clear the wilwoods just fine with a 1/8" spacer.
