Default TSW wheel offsets

I'm trying to pick new wheels and deciding between two sizes. The TSW Nurburgring come in either 18x9 with 50mm offset or 18x10.5 with 65mm offset. I would like to run the 10.5" width wheels up front but I'm not sure if they will stick out or not. I think the 9" wide wheels sit flush.

Can anyone either with the wheels or who knows offsets help me out on the fit?

I have the TSW Nurburgring wheels on my C5. The 18X9X50mm or the 17X9X50mm will
fit the front. The 18X10.5X65mm will fit the rear all with no trouble. don't know if the 18X10.5X65mm will fit the front. I think the wider wheel will hit steering components. Hope this helps!!!!!

Ok, thanks. Vendors are claiming they will not hit anything and fit in the fenders. I don't believe a 10.5" wide wheel will fit in the fender and not hit DRM brake cooling ducts!

Either size wheel will fit flush with the front fender. Not sure if the extra width will hit any ducts or suspension.
