Default Any wheel offset experts can eyeball this?

I know it's hard without actually being there, but this guy is selling a nice set of iForged Aeros, and I am wanting to buy them. Was looking for Fikse FM5's but these are really nice. They are 18x9.5 front and 18x11 rears. He has them on a corvette, but said he believes they are fbody offset because they stick out too far. That is as much as I know, but would like a few opinions. Is there any way of eyeballing and saying "yeah, those are incorrect for the corvette"? Here are some pictures.

The rears are sticking out to far and the fronts look flushed with the fender on those pics. Those are incorrect for the corvette.

Yeah, clearly not enough +offset.
IMO, wrong offsets for proper fitment!

So the concensus is that they *should* be fbody offset?

Definitely looks like F-body offset. Corvette specific wheels generally have a lot less "dish" because of the offset difference. These wheels do look dished, so I would say its safe to assume they're F-body offset and would look great on your car. If in doubt, he should pull the wheels off one side and check the stampings.
