Default ESR wheels on c5

I’m trying to get some AP5 wheels from ESR on my c5 z06 however their maximum offset is 40mm and Ik the suggested for the c5 is 54 and 58. I’ve seen people do it before so I know it’s possible just don’t know how to do it myself.

Depends on the wheel width. +40 on a 8.5" width wheel will fit but may not be optimum. +40 offset on a 9.5" or 10" width will fit poorly, with significant poke.

Most ESR (or similar) wheels aren't stock fender friendly. I have the AP5's on my car, but it's widebody front and rear with custom order offsets.

So pretty much unless I’m going for a wide body then there’s really no way to make them fit?

You never answered the question about the wheel widths. What tire sizes do you want to run? Do you want a flush fit or are you ok with poke?
Can you post a link to those wheels so we can see what wheel specs are offered?
