Default C6 sytle rims
I am about to order rims. They are the corvette C6 style rims. Does anyone know if the off set of these rims is 53mm or less?

Mine are 18x9.5 with a +56mm offset up front. 18x10.5 with +58mm offset in rear. No modds NEEDED really to have them fit. But to actually drive the car I needed a spacer, and some BFH mod.
