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...

I'm w/ Madice. I have exactly the same wheels as yours. I have the 53mm offsets.

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.
