Wheel Offset Help!!
I have a 1999 C5 FRC which I'm ready to buy wheels for. My questions are as follows: What is the offset range?, How low of an offset can I go in the front before they stick out and start to look ugly?. I found some wheels I really like but they're offset is 25. How will this look? How many inches off will I be? Is it workable? I'm getting L5 fender flares in the rear so I'm mostly concerned about the front. Thanks.

Your stock wheels are +54, +45 stick out too much for my liking (search for Ruff Wheels and look at some pictures)

I found many rims for sale that advertise that BMW rims will work, but their offset is around +15-18. I know that won't work by what your telling me. However, I found another set I really like but their offset is +35 and they're for the Corvette. If I use the right width tires, they may not look so bad. So, I need to know exactly how much it will stick out in inches. Anyone know or can provide a pic? Thanks.
