Default Need some guidance

I have looked through numerous threads and can't quite get the answers I need.

2001 T/A. I need to do something about the wheels. I want to go with factory wheels of some sort if possible...but not cut in stone. I do want to go with either 17" or 18" wheels, or a combo of both. I want something in the 9 to 9.5 range in width regardless of wheel diameter.

My question is what offset to properly locate the tires inside the wheel wells? No spacers...just the correct offset. I have read where Corvette wheels fit...then they don't...need spacers...C5 or C6...etc etc. It's quite confusing.

Any guidance is appreciated.

You're kidding me right? That thing is 51 pages. LOL I read part of it and it didn't have my answer...so if it's there, I don't have time to go through it. That's why I asked here

Actually, I went and read the first page regarding fitment again. There is some info there, but it's quite a spread in some cases. Like 38mm to 53mm. I was wondering what centers the wheels best...that sort of thing.

Factory/replica wheels are only available in certain offsets... find something in that range
