Default offset for deep dish wheels

Anyone know the offset of the 18x9.5/18x10.5 set?

That doesnt answer anything since they are custom wheels, which are 1 inch wider than stock. I want to use them on a 87. Im trying to build something like the Static Vette, look it up on YouTube.

Probably with paper thin tire clearance like that video, you will have to do a lot of measuring and spend a day at a tire store trying different combinations to get that close. Not sure any reasonable person would want that close of a tire clearance.....unless the car stayed static.

That video did make me a little home sick for the 86 I had for 33 years that I traded for my C5....until I drive my C5, then I have no regrets. I felt pretty good about how my C4 looked with the Epsilon wheels though.....

Thats why I said something close to it. He is running 10.5 front 11.5 rear with a 235 tire front 245 rear. Im thinking 9.5 front 10.5 rear, with 225 front 235 rear. Hoping the wheel wont hit the fender and use air suspension instead of coilovers, since my driveway is steep at the street and I would high center if it was that low.

I mean, the very first result from a 3-second Google search shows that the fronts are 54mm and the rears are 56mm.
