Please help with the offsets for c6z 18x111 and 18x13 thanks
Want to order the custom rims from forgestar but I can't seem to nail down the correct offsets to clear calipers, fenders, control arms. This should be well documented as the car has been out since 2006, so what are they??? Thanks the cf5 or cf 10 or s 18 styles.
style.

Lots of info here...

My F14s came with 7.5" BS front and 9.0" BS rear. The front tires will likely lightly rub the stock air ducts (non-destructively) at full lock with the 18x11s. Some have reported the 18x13 rears contacting the upper control arms at full droop.
Here's a discussion about limiting droop...

Backspacing for 18x11 and 18x13
I run CCW C14's of the same size on my C6Z track car. Backspacing is very close to Bill's at 7.5 inches BS for the front 18x11, and 9.25 inches BS for the rear 18x13
The front tires do lightly rub the brake ducts at full turn. I put a couple of layers of duct tape across the rub point on the brake duct and replace the tape as it wears out. The key is to not turn to full lock unless you have to.
I run coil overs and one inch drop spindles, so droop is not an issue with the upper control arm. Actually I rub on the bottom control arm when I bottom out. I have trimmed the bottom control arm to help clearance, but also have put in a bump stop and added rear wheel spacers.... Also I make sure the wheel weights are not placed toward the outside of the rear wheel because they will get knocked off by the lower control arm.....

Melting Slicks
Forgestar only makes F14 in those sizes.
I just bought a set of 18x11, 18x12 that fit great on my C7Z. The offsets were not listed on the boxes, but I also measured 7.5 in backspacing. This comes out to +38 on the front.

My forgestars were +37 in the front and +57 in the rear if I remember correctly. This was the clear AP Racing brakes though. This is what was recommended for my application, but you should reach out the one of the vendors and they should be able to help.
