Default c6 front wheel offset?

Okay after searching my *** off all i need to know is what is the offset from a stock c6 18x8.5 front wheel.

Thanks
Brian

P.S. this is so that i can order up some adapters to put a set on my 68 camaro pro tourer (also get to have more than enough room for c6 z06 brakes!)

The stock C6 rear wheels have and offset of 79mm. Stock C5 (non Z06) wheels have an offset of 65mm so theoretically they should fit just fine.

Will the 05 rims fit C5 vettes? Do I need to concerned about the offset? I am thinking of putting C6 OEM rims and tires on a C5? Any problems at all?

BTW, I switched rims on my C6 ... put the rears on the front and v.v. to see what the difference was in offset. I couldn't tell ANY difference visually. So I did the math (should have done this first). Front rim is 8.5" x 25.4 /2 minus offset of 56 = 52 mm (mounting surface is 52 mm from outside, or front side, surface). Then the rear, Rear rim is 10" x 25.4 /2 minus offset of 79 = 48 mm. The virtual difference between front and rear offset with the rim widths is 4 mm .... negligible, microscopic. So, why did I do this? If CCW has 18x11 for the rear, then I think I could put the very same wheel also on the front with the same offset, for autocross (but not able to get full turning lock, I'm sure) and not be able to tell the difference in offset, it would look perfectcly correct ... and I'd be able to rotate tires at all 4 corners as needed.

Feedback?
