Default C6 wheels and offsets for C5

Some 19 x 10 in. wide C6 5 spoke reproduction wheels that have a 79 mm offset and some with a 56 mm offset. They say both will fit a C5. Which one fits better?

Thanks

Mike, 79 mm is the stock rear offset for the C6 and is a bit too much for the C5. The 56mm offset would work OK.

If you want to put C6 wheels with a 79mm ofset on your C5, you will need a 1" thick minimum adapter plate..... I run 1.25" adapter plates on the rear.... Nothing required on the front.

on a 19x10" wheel a 56mm offset will work quite well on the rear of a C5.
