Exclamation Quick offset question please help!!!!!!

Hello all. I was thinking about getting some chrome C5 Z06 18x9.5's from tomz and while reading the sticky i noticed the offset went to 56mm. However, the wheels have an offset of 57mm. Is this enough to make a difference or will it be fine? If it helps I plan on putting Nitto NT 555 285/35R18 on all four corners. If there is a problem what will i need to make them fit? Thanks in advance!

It will be fine. It will move inwards 1 mm compared to stock.

I am considering 18" C5 Z06's also. What offset would be best (make them stick out slightly more than stock)? Sorry to hijack.

Thanks for the help Xsta! Looks like ill be getting them very soon. StockerWS6 I believe that the lower you go in mm i.e. 36mm compared to 56mm the farther the wheels will stick out. However you have to be careful because the fender might hit the tire when going over bumps, especially if your car is lowered.
