10.5 inch wide c5 offset rears require modding fenders? Just wondering if a 10.5 inch rim will require Any work to male sure there's no interference? Picked up c5 wheels and am planning to spacer if I have to in order to get the wheels close to the outer edge but not stick out at all. Would like to bring them out as far as possible so that there's no rubbing on the inside.
Anyone run 10.5s ? Why offset etc?

I had mine cut. im running a 5mm spacer w/ extended lug nuts. my car is lowered 1.75". if your car is stock height it shouldnt touch the inner fenders without spacers. If your car is lowered or plan on lowering, and if you use spacers, you will hit or come extremely close in rubbing the fender and cutting your tire assuming you are going with 315s. if you use 295s it shouldnt be a problem.

I have 10.5" C5 Z06 rims 56 mm offset, bilstein shocks stock springs. I had no problems at all when I had 275's on there. When I picked up some 295's I got some 1/8" spacers and it doesn't rub except for a little bit when I corner tightly. But I also have some heavy *** subs and a HDF box in the rear that sags down the springs a bit so that might have something to do with it.

Great to hear! I'll measure the offsets when I get them. Car is lowered with ground control coilovers and koni 4/4 s. I plan to run 285 or 295 no balloons on my car 
I also have no choice as they are 20s ( I know! Gasp!) rear. I've got some ideas how to make it work.
