Default TSW Nurburgring wheels

To those running TSW nurburgring wheels on a c5 (zo6), can you point me in a direction, for best size, offset, tire set up, I would like to stay with the staggered, I wouldn't mind stepping up to 18 and 19, I don't want any kind rubbing issue's. The car is stock height, but would like to lower it on stock bolts. Also can you recommend any companies that would do a tire wheel combo for this setup? Current pics if you have them would be awesome, thanks

I don't remember what my exact offsets are but any reputable wheels shop should be able to get em right for you. I did 18/19 with 265/35/18 front and 305/30/19 rear.

No rubbing issues purchased from a vendor here 10 years ago. Extremely light wheel looks way better in person than in photos.

Tell us the widths and we can better offer offset advice.

Not sure that you can get offsets other than the standard on the nurburgrings, but the standard offsets are +50 for the 9” wide and +65 for the 10.5. I’m running the interlagos (same standard offsets as nurburgrings) in 18x9 up front and 19x10.5 in back. No issues with rubbing or anything with 265/35r18 front and 305/30r19 back

18x9 Front- 265/35/18 (+50)
18x10.5 Rear- 295/35/18 (+65)
Continental Extreme Contact DW06 Tires

No poke out of wheels or tires, are flush to the outer fender lip, no rubbing or other fitment issues. They (in the stock form and spacing) clear C6 Z06 rotors an caliper by a great deal.

Thanks. Those are the only specs I've seen, so far. Wasn't sure if TSW offered a number of widths and offsets.

Where were you able to find your Interlagos? I’m looking for a set like that myself. Thanks!

So is the 10.5 with the 65 offset basically the same fitment as the rear C5 Z stock wheels?

Close but oem C5Z 18x10.5 rear wheel have a +58 offset so the TSW's are inset about a 1/4" more.
