What are the best wheel offsets for the C5? I want to go 20"rear and 19"front. Wanna order rims online but need to know what works best. Any help with photos would be great. Thanks
There is no best, it's how do you want the wheels to look IRT the fender/body lines. I have a 19/18 set up and use +56mm on both and they sit flush to the arch lines (don't stick out). The 20/19 set I spec'd out used +51mm offsets front and back. Call the rim dealer and talk to them about fitment.
I'd suggest browsing the 'C5 Custom Wheel & Tire Database' at the link below, see what you like in the pictures. Also, check out the 'Seeking Wheel/Offset Guidance' thread below. In post #3 of the Seeking thread, you'll find a list of Corvette OE wheel offsets. You can use this info and the Wheel Offset calculator at the link below to figure out what you'd like:
