hi,


I am looking to get a set of 18" rims for road course track driving. I am thinking 10" front and 11" rear. I will then run Nitto NT01s 275 front, 305 rear.


Any recommendations? what offsets and brand? Any issues with rubbing and clearance?


I have gone with OZ racing rims in the past with very good quality and reasonable price for the 911 and Cayman cars I've tracked in the past.


I have done searches but nothing definitive. Only C6 square set up on a C7.


TIA

Actually 18" C5 Z06 rear as square setup all around as some tried on below thread

How are you doing with stock brakes? Mine didn't do too well on the track so I went with AP BBK. I want 18" wheels but I doubt that they would work with the 6 piston AP calibers

So far, so good. Boiled the fluid first time out (dot 4), but not since switching to Motul. Rotors showing some wear. Considering an upgrade eventually.

C7 setups:

Front, C5 Z06 rear wheel, 18 x 10.5, 58mm
Rear, Oz Alleggerita, 18 x 11, 75mm, listed as a C6 rear wheel


But there's nothing wrong with an 18/19 setup or even a 19/19 setup.

Oz Superleggera III
Front, 18 x 9.5, 59mm, use 3mm spacer, listed as a C5 front wheel
Front, 19 x 9.5, 59mm, use 3mm spacer, listed as a C5 front wheel
Front, 18 x 10.5, 59mm, listed as a C5 rear wheel
Front, 19 x 10.5, 59mm, listed as a C5 rear wheel
Rear, 19 x 11, 75mm, listed as a C6 rear wheel

B Stead, you seem pretty knowledgeable on the topic. Can you advise me on whether an 18 x 9.5, 56mm will fit on the front of a z51 with 275/35/18" Nitto NT01 tires?

I plan to use 18 x 10.5, 56mm on the rear with MT ET Street Radial 315/30-18.

Thanks for any help.

Since the 18 x 9.5 56mm front wheel is similar to the 18 x 10.5 58mm C5Z wheel then it should work on the front of the C7. But the thing to check is if it will push on over the brakes.

The wheel and tire at the rear should stick out and so the car shouldn't be lowered.

The front tires are not tall but they are taller than the rear tires

I have been using the TSW Interlagos wheels on mine with R888's, 275 front and 295 rear. Great set up and they fit perfectly. They also clear the Wilwoods in the front and rear.

I've never seen that Jake car before. Just amazing.
