Factory offsets below:


Backspace/offset dimensions are as follows:

C5 (coupe/vert):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset = 7.03" backspace
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset = 7.81" backspace

C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset = 7.38" backspace
Rear 18x10.5", 58mm offset = 8.03" backspace

C6 (coupe/vert):
Front 18x8.5", 56mm offset = 6.95" backspace
Rear 19x10", 79mm offset = 8.61" backspace

C6 Z06 and C6 GrandSport:
Front 18x9.5", 40mm offset = 6.82" backspace
Rear 19x12", 59mm offset = 8.82" backspace

C6 ZR1
Front 19x10 40mm offset = 7.22" backspace
Rear 20x12 59mm offset - 8.82" backspace

C5 and C6 wheel circle:
5 on 4.75" (120.65MM)

Center hub dia. 70.3mm





The fronts you want to order will stick out about 0.35" more than the factory front wheels and the rears will stick out about 0.60" more than the factory rear wheels. Assumes you have coupe or vert wheels now and not Z06 wheels.
they are stock size wheels for base coupe thank you very much
