Default C5 Z06 Wheel offset

What is the offset on a C5 Z06 wheel?

I currently have them on my 96 with no issues and am running stock tire sizes. I need new tires and at the end of this month BFGoodrich (i just got off the phone with them) is realeasing the KDW2 in a 315/30/18 which will fit the Z06 Rim. I think if the Z06 rim has the same offset as a Grandsport 11x17 rim I'll be fine.

Regardless, I'll be about 10mm closer to the inner fender well. I've never heard my current tires rub, and wouldn't want any brand new tires to rub.

The rear C5 Z06 wheels are 18x10.5" and have a 58mm offset. You might get some light rubbing on the inside with those 315/30. Even though you haven't heard your tires rubbing they could be real close. My driver's side tire rubs ever so slightly on the inside with the 295/35 so you may need small spacers.

No GS had a 50mm offset. The difference between the two offsets is about 5/16".
