Wheel Offsets?
So I have a 17 z51 with factory wheels, I was looking at other aftermarket wheel options and I have no idea what an "offset" is when it comes to wheels. I think the stock wheels are 56mm in front and 79mm in the rear. What does that exactly mean? and If I replace them with something other than those offsets would I be in any trouble? How would it affect the car? If it is something close can I get away with it or does it have to match exactly? I also hate that the Stingray/z51 are a different bolt pattern than the Grandsport/zo6, wheel options are so limited on the 5x120.65 bolt pattern.
