Default Can anyone confirm the wheel offsets for me?

I've seen some specs on another site that are supposedly the stock wheel offsets and just need to confirm that. I'm getting ready to order some custom wheels ($$$) and want them to be identical to the stock specs.

Here is what I have seen. Does anyone have their wheels off so that they can double-check these numbers?

18"x9.5" fronts (offset +40)
19"x12" rears (offset +59)

Any help is much appreciated.

Haha... no we had to fire our wedding caterer and planner on short notice (long story). We don't feel like rushing to plan a big wedding and then realized that we hate all this bull**** and don't feel like blowing 10-15k on a party. We've decided to chill and alope this fall This all comes as a huge relief b/c we were doing what we were "supposed" to and not what we wanted. Sorry to get offtopic but all is well between us. Adam will be moving but I'm going to try to get him to go back to KY... I know he wants more Kentucky Redbulls

Back on topic... is that 24k gold or 14k gold on the new rims>

2K1 vette - the standard wheel offsets are, front 56 mm, and the rears are 79 mm.

I am going with Radical Wheels. They are just like the polished wheels from GM, but they are triple chromed.

I know I asked for input, but I'm pretty sure you better check those numbers before you order anything. Radical Wheels is where I originally obtained those offsets I originally quoted. Your numbers are not even close to what Radical Wheels states are standard for a C6 Z06.
C6 Corvette Chrome C6 Z06 Set (2-18x9.5 & 2-19x12)
Set of 4 Chrome C6 Z06 Style Wheels for True Z06 C6 Corvettes.
These triple chrome-plated wheel castings are CNC machine-finished then pressure tested for structural integrity, lateral run-out and concentricity. Includes matching chrome center caps and lugnuts. Comes with a 36 month Factory Limited Warranty. Offset +40(18") and +59(19") Wheels accept sensors.

It looks like the offsets you mentioned are for standard C6 sizes and NOT Z06 sizes.

I'm pretty sure the offsets I originally quoted are correct, I just want independent verification of that.

2k1 vette, I am sorry, when I looked at the wheels when Radical Wheels first came out with the chrome ones, the offset was 56 and 79. I went to the site that you had and they have changed the offsets. You are correct.
