Milan Corvette Wheels Offset??

[charles]

I was thinking about going with a set of these #280 Corvette Milan Wheels Polished 17X9 all the way around.

My question is about the correct offset for my Ty. I plan on running 275/40/17 all the way around. Doing a few searches, it looks like I need a 56 front offset and ?? rear offset??

Can someone verify this front and rear offset ?

I assume all of these vette wheels have the same lug pattern as my Ty??

Or if anyone knows where I can find similar wheels for cheaper(they want $95 for shipping), feel free to chime in :grin:

Thanks

Have you checked out the wheel calculator over on Ian's site?

Here is the Link:

It looks like if you went with the 17x9 with the 56 mm offset in the rear, you would need some kind of spacer or adapter. That offset would push the wheel 30mm in when compared to the stock wheel. that should be a spacer of about 1.125 inches. someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I dont know about the offset, but I do know that those rims are beautifull. I want those all around my typhoon. Man in 18x9 and chrome I would love to drive around in them.
They have a style that I have loved for a long time, similar to the 17" 1997 Eclipse GSX wheels

REAR WHEEL SIZE ( 18 X 10 1/2" OFFSET 56mm )
FRONT WHEEL SIZE ( 17 X 9 1/2" OFFSET 54mm)
BOLT PATTERN - ( 5 lug on 4 3/4" )

this seems to be the offset for most corvette rims, i think.
