Default C5 & Low Offset Wheels

So I am in a stand still here. I have two sets of wheels off a couple cars I have owned and was curious how the would fit & look on my C5. First set of wheels are 19x10.5 +22 the second set are staggered at 18x9.5 -22 & 19x10.5 -13. The kicker is that they are both 5x114.3 bolt patterns so I know I need wheel adapters and with the spacers the smallest size I saw was 15mm so that will adjust the offset by a decent amount and I was curious how these would fit and look and I can't really find anything online in regards to C5 with low offset wheels. Any help is appreciated

Are the wheels from a Nissan Z? These offsets are way too low for a Corvette regardless of the wheel adapters. Z06 wheels are 9.5"F +54, 10.5"R +58 and will sit almost flush with fenders. the 19x10.5 +22 wheels will bring them out an inch + past the fenders plus another 5/8" with the adapters. Probably OK with widebody fenders. the 18x9.5 -22, 19x10.5 -12 will be 3" + past fenders plus 5/8" adapters, so aboot 4" total past fenders and not a good look. I suggest you sell them and buy a set that will fit
