Default What size and offset are front C5 and C6 wheels?

C5's had a 17-inch front and C6's have an 18" front.. right?

What about width and offset?

Working out wheels for my '68 LS2 car.. Thanks for any help!

Front wheels:

C5's were 17" x 8.5" with 56 mm offset.

C5 Z06's were 17" x 9.5" with 54 mm offset

C6's are 18" x 8.5" with 58 mm offset

C6 Z06's are 18" x 10" and I read a 79 mm offset, but that sounds wrong . . .

Any how, how you doing stranger?

Well, there's no way in hell that a 18x8.5 C6 wheel only has 2.28 inches of backspace.. hell they have almost zero dish. Maybe 2.28 inches of forespace.. lol

Argh..

Back space and offset are TOTALLY different! . . . .

25.4 mm = 1" . . FYI
