Not sure why TSW chose these offsets. TSW makes the Cray wheels which are corvette specific so they know which offsets work best with their wheels. They are guarateed to fit with no problems.

Probably because these aren't Corvette specific wheels, but existing wheels they have, that will work. Which isn't a bad thing. I used to sell TSW wheels for the GTO that were BMW fitment, but with proper tire size they worked flawlessly.

Actually these are corvette specific. They come with the correct 5x120.65 bolt pattern, are corvette hubcentric, come with the proper offsets and are available in the correctly staggered widths and heights.

Are they hubcentric with or without centering rings?

Without hubcentric rings. The hub on the wheels is 70.3.

Default TSW Wheels
I'm interested in these wheels. I'm looking to do the 18x9 front and
18x10.5 rear. I have a '98 coupe with upgraded C6 Z06 brakes. Do you know if they will clear?

Thanks

wow, that rear diameter looks like a 17 and the front looks like an 18! strange optical effect...anyway, you have to offer an 18/19 setup...that 18/18 shows too much rubber..are those tire sizes 40 series, or ? still interested, though

Yep I made a mistake in ordering the tires and got 40 series in the front and 35's in the rear. New front tires will be on Thursday and then I'll post more pics.

Same here. Though I'd prefer 18x9.5 in fronts, to go with 18x10.5s in the rear.

Any chance Rick?
