No but those particular wheels come in a handful of offsets for 5x112, the 8.5J ET45 being the ones which will fit your caddy. Width of the wheels will also have an effect on offset needed, so as RK designs pointed out there are a range off offsets that will fit depending on the width of the wheels. Some people might run a wheel with a much higher offset using spacers to bring the wheels back out to where they want them.

Hi,
to check the effect of rim width, ET and tyre dimensions you can use this website:
http://www.reifenrechner.at/
It helps a lot if you messure the distance from your stock rims to the outer lead line of your rear fender.
It worked fine for me. 8)
