C5 Wheel Offset Question
I've been searching for the last two hours and haven't found what I'm looking for.
What are the stock front and rear wheel offset values for my 2003 coupe?
Thanks,
Alan

C5 (coupe/vert):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset
C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset
Rear 18x10,5", 58mm offset
The thing to note here is that stock C5 wheels really are not the optimal offset (the rears are tucked in too far). The Z06 wheels are the example of "what to shoot for" for perfect fitment to the body.
Also, when you change the wheel's width, you also change the optimal offset for it, so if you're shopping custom wheels in a different width, don't get too hung up on the offset number of the stock wheels.
