Default Staggered wheels

I am narrowing down what new wheels to put on my 2002 c5. I like the forgestar f14s they have them in 18/9.5” and 19/11”. Can you foresee any issues with this setup? I’m leaning towards it but don’t want any issues with performance/handling and rubbing etc

do you know if the offsets of 50 (f) and 71 (r) would be ok? They also have a 53mm rear.. I’m looking for that concave aggressive look but want to be sure they fit well

I know what you’re talking about. I have definitely seen it. But it seems like it is not very thorough. Everybody wants to talk about diameter and width and it seems I can’t find very much information regarding offset and what will fit

I dont know if their measurements are accurate. I had a set and they poked out past the fender too much so I sold them. I researched the forum and most people with them have the same issue, however some dont mind the look.
