Hi Jeremiah-
This is really a question for the folks that are going to widen the wheels, and sell you the flared fenders.
If the people who are making and selling these Corvette Wheels, fenders and spacers can’t answer these questions, maybe you should re-think if they are your best option. It may be better to put the fenders on the car, and then work out the math for the wheel width, backspacing and offset, as opposed to spending your money and hoping for the best. Good Luck!

Here you go, Gary:
18×8.5” front wheels = +56
19×10” rear wheels = +79

I’m planning to widen my stock 02 ZO6 wheels to 12″, put on flared quarter panels (extend out 1.25″), and use a spacer to push the wheel out flush for the extra 1.25″. Will 12″ be too much (stick out past quarter)?I would think it’d work but I have no idea how much the 12″ stock wheel would need to clear the wheel well. I just don’t want any rubbing, and don’t want the wheel/tires to stick out past the quarters. Thanks for any help at all. I’m currently out of the country on work and have limited resources for contact, so email would be best or i’ll check back here. Also, want to put 345′s on the wheels, or 335′s if the 345/12″ combo won’t work, fyi

Appreciate your time

We have always used the correct offset wheels for C5 Corvettes therefor I do not know the smallest offset that you could use. We have several Wheel Sets for a C5 Corvette that will fit and they are affordable.

I was hoping you guys could tell me what the smallest offset that a stock base model Corvette C5 can have for the front wheels? I’m in Europe and am having a hard time trying to find anything that will fit a Corvette for a reasonable price. The Corvette wheels I found are 18×8 with an offset of 35mm. I have my doubts but am hopeful.

How did you weld an aluminum suspension to a steel car? Offset depends on many things like where the fender lines are etc. You will have to measure for this. None of the stock offsets for the Corvettes are going to work with what you have. You can go to a wheel manufactures website and they should give you instructions on how to measure for the offset or backspace and which measurement they prefer. You can also view our past post about Corvette wheel offset and backspacing here.

Pete,
The offset of the stock wheels on a 2001 C5 Z06 Corvette is 54mm in the front and 58mm in the rear. We do not have a set here to measure the backspacing but you can determine this by following the steps above in this post.
