Default Offset for C5 wheels?

Does anyone know what the offset is for the C5 vettes. Im looking to upgrade to c6 wheels and want to make sure that they will work with my c5. i know that the c6 offset is 54mm (front) and 79mm(back), not sure about c5 wheels though. Any help would be great>

From the C5 FAQ, post #2:
20 lbs, 17x8.5, 58mm offset, front; 23 lbs, 18x9.5, 65mm offset, rear

This isn't really an apples-to-apples comparison though, since offset changes as a function of wheel width (which are different between C5 and C6). You'll need hub-centric spacers on the rear if those are stock C6 wheels.
