Default Wheel specs

My eyes are bugging out of my head. have read so many articles, watched so many You Tubes, i ve lost track. I read all the posts in the sticky section on wheels and specs.
I have seen no one or can find nothing so far on 19/20 s that will fit with the C6 Z brakes. I can easily take the wheels off I have and measure them and get an idea.
Currently have 18/19 Fikse FM 5s on it. I really like them and just would like to change them up a bit and try the 19/20 thing. Anyone with ideas of bs and offset feel free to
chime in please. The only thing i may have trouble finding wheels i like.. i don t want spider wheels or whatever you call them and Zr1 style. looking for something plain and
simple. 5 or 6 spoke and not dark, because i dont think they would go good with Electron blue..
thanks for looking.

I might be wrong, but doesn’t CCW offer a five spoke in 20” that will fit? Maybe the SP500. Might check the website.

Those fronts definitely will not clear C6Z calipers but a new big brake kit utilizing Wilwood components may be available very soon, maybe in a couple of weeks, that will fit those Fikses and lots of CCW's.

Nothing wrong with a 19/20 or 18/19 combo. Both give you lots of options, with bigger tires and brakes.
Go for it.

I don't see any reason why you can't, if C6Z brakes will fit under what you have, now. Going up in diameter won't change the offsets required.
What sizes you looking at, 19x9.5 and 20x11?
