Default Wheel and Offset Question!

Hey everyone!

I am purchasing a 2002 TT Z06 on Wednesday , and I am planning on buying a set of the C6 Z06 wheels to put on her.

My question for everyone is this:

The Z currently has brand new tires on the aftermarket wheels that are on it. The tires are 275 front and 295 rear and the wheels are 18/19, respectively. I want to get 18X9.5 front and 19X11 rear. However they have two options available for the offset. Which offset should I get for the fronts and the rears?

What is available for the fronts: 18X9.5 +40 and 18X9.5 +57
What is available for the rears: 19X11 +64 and 19X11 +79


Thank you for your time!

-Phil

fronts: 18X9.5 +57
Outer lip of the wheel will be only 3.0 mm inward compared to OEM Z06 wheels

rears: 19X11 +64
Outer lip of the wheel will be only 0.3 mm outward compared to OEM Z06 wheels

fronts: 18X9.5 +40

Outer lip of the wheel will be only 14.0 mm outward compared to OEM Z06 wheels - TOO MUCH OUTWARD

rears: 19X11 +79

Outer lip of the wheel will be only 14.7 mm inward compared to OEM Z06 wheels - TOO MUCH INWARD

So, the 18X9.5 +57 fronts and 19X11 +64 rears would definately be the best setup.
