Wheel Fitment?
So im thinking of buying some wheels in 18x10.5 with a +15 offset, I know the stock offset is much higher. Im not too familiar with figuring out the offset/backspacing thing....but can anyone tell me how much more they will stick out or if they will be too far outside the fenders? I guess im trying to find out what range of offsets i can get away with. I'm finding some decent wheels that are +15 or +20 and not too expensive and since I know the car can fit an 18x11 I figure maybe I can get away with that lower offset.
The wheels are Enkie RPF1's, I thought of getting CCW's but everyone and they're brother have a set on a C5Z so i thought id try something different, they'll mainly be used as a second set for AutoX events. They only cost about 1200-1500 so im saving a ton of money vs a 2600+ set of CCW Classics

60mm-15mm = 45mm.
45mm = 1.78".

Damn,
Im trying to find something affordable other than replicas....
Its starting to look like either "Deep Dish C5" replicas or C6 Z06 wheels are my only affordable choice for a second set to go AutoX with.
Anyone know how much the Deep Dish C5 replicas weigh?

Not exactly... but I know they weight a $hitload more than stock. They're also not very strong. Not a great choice for the track IMHO.
Get a nice looking set of replicas for cruising and a set of factory wagon wheels for the track. They're ugly but they're relatively light, relatively strong, and very cheap.

I've got stock C5 z06 wheels but I need a second set.... I might get the Deep Dish C5's, havent seen any great pics of cars with them though.
