C5 wheels on a 4th Gen Z28?

Is the offset right on C5 wheels? I'd like to see some pics of C5 wheels on a 4th gen and see what they look like, how they fit. Does anyone have pics?

I love those wheels on the main page. I've seen that car before. I think those are Fiske FM5 wheels.

if you look in the mods or pictures page... that's where I'm talking about. Unless you already did that, in that case... ignore me

Re: C5 wheels on a 4th Gen Z28?

There is no "standard" offset on a C5 wheel. They come in a wide variety of diameters, widths and offsets. Some of them are a problem on the 4th Gens... specifically the 18x10.5 58mm offset Z06 wheels. With an 8.0" backspace, they are more of a problem to fit than a 17x11 50mm wheel. Others, while not having a problem with backspace, tend to sit very deep in the wheel well.... the 2000-2002 18x9.5 with 65mm offset would be an example. They are going to sit almost 1/2" deeper in the well than say a 17x9.5" 56mm offset ZR1, and the ZR1 is already to deep for some people.

I had Y2Ks on my car. They were 10.5in in the back and fit with a little hammering. The fronts fit fine. There are pics on the 2nd page of my sig. My Z06's are repo's and are only 9.5in's so they clear fine.
