Default Black wheels for my C7 - TSW's??

Looking for 18x12/11.5" for the back and 18x9 for the front

Looking to mount a 325/40/18 Racemaster on the back.

Hoping to find a set of inexpensive wheels to use only for track days.

Thanks Matt

be care full what you wish for, unless your c7 is a zo6, i dont see a 12 inch wide wheel or a 325/40 fitting! i knocked off my rear inner fender lips ( i was SICK)with 315/30/18's last year, yes i had the wrong offset on the rear wheels(58mm) should have been 78mm, that being said, i have a new wheels this year18x11 offset 78mm and it just fits inside rear inner fender lip with a 315/30/18 on it. dont spend money untill you know for sure what fits,

I have 315/35/20's on it now, and they are about 70mm offset wheels...with the right wheel I can fit a Racemaster 325/40/18 on it, no problem.

yes offset means a ton, i would think something 83mm or more would be needed to run 11 1/2 wheels with a 325 on it, but at what point does it hit/rub the inside of wheel/tire? there is only so much room back there( that is why wide body kits are coming out) i just have a bad taste in my mouth after i lost my rear inner fender lips, good luck, keep us/me posted how that works for you. ps. my inner rear fender lips made me so sick that i was going to get a wide body kit but the money it was going to cost, i traded the 2014 and got a 2015 for less, not kidding, parts are one thing!, labor paint! wow!

Yea, everything about this car has been quite the journey...I am going into uncharted territory on a number of fronts...have the first prototype triple disc clutch from Mantic on the car, first one off cam from Comp Cams for my 416 stroker build I just did, new head ports by Greg Goode, and the first, or one of the first Paxton 2200R blowers on it, and a new style nitrous nozzle as well....no history, or information I can gather for many things....all expensive..lol
