Decided on 17" Chrome z06 rims....now need help

I've decided to go with some 17" z06 rims. What I would like to do is go with 17x8.5 in the front and 17x9.5 or wider in the back. I don't know too much about offsets and stuff like that, all I know is that I don't want them to stick out far from the fenders because I don't want my new paint job getting all chipped from them. So I need to find out what kind of offset I'm looking for.

Just tell me what offsets to get and where I can find the wheels. Thanks..

hmm, 17x8.5 and 17x9.5...

well the offsets that i think would look good are:

17x8.5 36-40mm
17x9.5 54-58mm

as for where to get them, i think that surfing ebay would be a good start..

found these, but they are 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 in the back..

clicky

since you would not be rotating the tires with a 17x8.5, 17x9.5 combo, you would just end up buying more expensive tires for the back(18x9.5) if you bought the ones in the link above..

Thanks a lot man...my car is even the same color.

I definitely love the z06 wheels more than any out there that I've seen.

No rock chips?
