Default Weld RTS offsets for C5

I'm taking the plunge and going to get this heap hooking up like it should.

Car is a 02 Z06.

The rear has been mini tubbed and I'll be ordering my LG spindles here very soon. I am also installing C6 Z06 front brakes on the car.

I am wanting 15x10" Weld RTS for the rear and a pair of 18x9's for the front. I need to find out exactly what offsets I need so I can order these. Can anyone help???

Thanks,
Jarrod

Curious to see how the 15's hook. Also, are you sure the C6 Zoh brakes will fit that 18x9?

Don't see why not. My current 18x9.5's clear them. Also Sean (Hercules) has them on his C6. Granted his are 18x10's but that shouldn't matter.

I got mine in last week.On 10'' you only can use 7.5 back spacing.I ordered the 15x9.33 with 6.5 back spacing.Rts does not have a wheel with correct back spacing for you to use the mini tubbs.The most they have is 7.5 with a mid pad.

Called them a few weeks back only have 15, 17, 18, with a 7.5inch back space only. I want a 16 rim with the correct offset so going back with a CCW dragpack for next yr.. Robert

If you look at Rodney's car with 275,the tire is at the edge of quater panels.A wider tire I think would hit

I know... I think it is straight up freakin retarded they dont make the RTS in a 16"..... There is way better tire sizes in a 16" then a 17".... And to go to a 15" you have to do the brakes/spindles.... Why make them in every size besides a 16"?

I would buy weld RTS today if they had a 16"..... Because of their retardedness, I am stuck hunting for a CCW drag pack and have to deal with the weight penalty...

Thanks. I was just throwing all the info I could out there to make sure everything is cool. I thought 7.5 was right on the 10" wide rear.

My main concern is what offset to get the fronts in since I want a 18". Car was having a hard time stopping at TI last weekend.

O by the way..I did not gring calipers to make my rts fit.I grinded the top ball joint area when I ran the 16'' camaro the 1st time.15'' rts has more room then the 16'' camaro wheels do.

I'm sure a 275/60/15 will work just fine, I'm just looking to gain all the MPH I can in 4th..
