Rim issues plz help!!
Currently im run c7 Z06 reps 18x9.5 front 17x9.5 rear with +52 offset with 275/40/17 toyo proxxes R1R on my FBO HCI 06 C6. They actually do somewhat decent but i wanted more meat in the back so I ordered the same wheel but a 18x10.5 with a +56 offset running a 305/35/18 toyo R888. Not thinking untill i test fit them that the wheels stick out about almost 2" on each side now. Im guess with that width i need a +79 offset or more but i now CANNOT find a wheel like that to run those tires and im stuck. I just wanted a matching set of wheels without paying a million dollars for a sticky tire, PLEASE HELP!!

Most direct solution is to purchase fender flares that will essentially give you the wide body in the rear. Or, you could just add the Z06 fender splash guards. There are narrow body versions that might do the trick. Cultrag has them.
I would try the splash guards first. If you aren't happy after that, looks like you are purchasing more wheels and tires. I highly recommend going back to an 18/19 or 19/20 setup.

Tsw interlagos or nurburgrings will fit that tire on a base just fine. I'm running the 18x10.5 interlagos with a 295/35/18, but they came with the 305/35/18 r888 and looked great when I got them. I'll try to find a photo from the member I purchased the wheels from. They are a 65 offset wheel iirc
Edit: Found it. They poke out a little but I thought it looked good on my car. I do have splash guards on mine.
This is the best pic I have of the way the 295s look on mine.

Those dont look bad at all , mine stick out pretty far! I would definitely need splash guards from what i keep hearing on widebody but thats a lot of money in that direction for wide body. Maybe i can sell this full set of wheels and go TSW? I have a full set now plus the extra 18x10.5 so.
