C5 wheel help.
I did the c6z calipers on my c5z and been having trouble finding wheels. I ordered forgestar f14s back in December and sent the fronts back twice now.... I found c7z reps that will work (so they say) Has anyone used c7z reps that had good success? And im ocd and want the wheels to sit flush with fenders. Any help is definitely appreciated thank you.

I been reading mix information and the widebody wheels. And that's why I want to go with reps. The f14s are 18x9.5 +49 18x11 +53. The rears were great the fronts needed 3mm spacer. A lot of back and forth shipping of the fronts and still not right. I actually just returned everything yesterday. Just waiting for refund. I did read guys having great results with those specs and a few had the same issues.
