Default wheel off set

What is the correct wheel offset for a 2001 C5? It for the rear wheel.
Thanks Rod

This should be the correct wheel size and offset specs (mine is an 02):

C5:

Front 17x8.5 - 58mm
Rear 18x9.5 - 65mm

Z06:

Front 17x9.5 - 54mm
Rear 18x10.5 - 58mm

Just bought 01 vert amd it has C6 wheels installed. 18" on front and 19" on rear. If these are standard C6 wheels will the offset be correct for my C5? If not will this cause any problems ... tire or suspension wear, handling, etc....? Thanks.
