In my unprofessional opinion, the do not have enough positive offset. They will stick out.


Stock C5 wheels:

Location: Size / offset / backspace
Front: 17x8.5 / 56mm / 6.8"
Rear: 18x9.5 / 63mm / 7.6"

See below for a visual...

Fronts will stick out of the fenders about 1/4", rears will be fine and fit flush with the fender edge.

On the 2nd set, out of the fenders about 1/4" front and rear.


Also, caliper clearance may likely be a problem with those large lip dimensions...that depends a lot on the wheel/spoke design though.

Hey:
The bolt pattern is WRONG ! ! ! Chev and Corvette is 5 on 4 3/4in or 120.65 mm. Your wheels are 5 on 120 mm. This is not the correct fitment and may result in wheel loss and or destruction of yourself and the car.

I got the 19s and will test fitment and ride. Will get back to you with results. I got a full money back guarantee if there are issues. Over 20 C5 owners are running these wheels right now so there can not be too much issue. Thanks
