Default C4 Wheel question........

Not sure where the text went in the other post I made but anyway..........I just bought the Z06 Motorsports for my 94 vert. I bought the same sizes as stock, front & rear. 17x9.5 & 17x8.5 The factory offset for these is 56mm for the rear & 50mm for the fronts. The new ones are 56mm in the front as well as the rear. What effect will this have on the look of the car? Will it work out ok on the size or look stupid/wierd?

They will sit 6mm in-board,which is only about 1/4 inch. That is same front offset as 17x8.5 c5 wheels which I have on my '89. Looks fine , dont know that can see any difference by eyeballing it.
