Default 53mm offset question..

Hey guys!
if i got 18x9.5 (275/35) and 18x10.5 (295/35) c5 z06 wheels, with a 53mm offset, will it fit properly and will i be able to still lower the car w/o any issues??

thanks in advance!!

You'll be perfectly fine and no modifications should be needed. Mine are 56mm so yours will come out a little bit more then mine (click sig to see photos).

ALSO if you read the STICKY you'd know that it is fine...

yes you should be fine. When youre are lowered you MIGHT have to BFH a little. I have 18x10.5s, 295-35 and +50mm offset and i needed to.

thanks guys. you guys were very helpful.

btw..i did read the sticky and it said 50mm-53mm would be fine. but i just wanted to make sure because tomz told me that their offsets for those wheels are 57mm (front) and 58mm (rear).

thanks again guys!

I think thats because those are the same as the Vette offsets and are easier to get a hold of.

I have 53mm offsets on my 18x11 ZO7 wheels and I had to use the BFH on the wheel wells a bit to make them fit. Not a big deal, though.
