Lower Offset Wheels - Help with fitment
So I'm looking at wheels that are not sized for a corvette but I haven't really seen anyone with lower offsets to really make a decision on what size I want. The reason why I'm requesting this is not important to the thread.
Does anyone have anything close to a 19x10 +38 on the rear of a c5, stock quarter? This would be the around the same outer fitment as a 19x11 +50, 19x11.5 +57, and 19x12 +63.
Anyone have sizes close to these?

i have asked numerous times about what people have off set and aggressive fitment wise. It resulted in a thread like yours, no luck. For some reason a lot (not everyone) of vette people here just dont look into or pay attention to offset. Just the the width and height of the rim. Resulting in a lot of vettes having a somewhat "sunken in" rear rim. More aggressive fitments are found in the C6 Z06 section. i wish more C5's would run some concave wheels and flush fitments.

Give me a couple of weeks, I have a set of custom CCW's being made for me at the moment. Very aggresive fitment all around. After spending an afternoon with my friends at CCW fitting a variety of different wheels with different offsets and tire sizes on my z06, we were able to figure out what works and what doesnt.
I agree oaf, most of the time people list their sizes, they completely disregard the offsets. Pretty ridiculous since most of the wheels for corvettes are extremely overpriced for what they are.
