Wheel tech question

What are people doing for offsets/backspace to get some dish in the rear on a non-Z06 car without rubbing?

I like BBS. I had just lowered the car and it had not settled yet, so it looks high.

Which wheel style and size are your CCWs?

Looks like you have a Z06 brake package front and rear is this correct?

It's not as much about the offset that gives the wheel the lip your looking for. It's how the wheel is designed/made. If you notice the ccw wheels have curved spokes that allow them to go deeper in the wheel which alllows for the wheel lip. Look at most of the wheels that have a lip and you will see that they have a curved spoke / face which allows for the deep dish look.

The wheels are 505's(powder coated comp grey) in 19X11 and 18X9.5, tire sizes are stock Z06 325/275.
Z06 brakes only on the fronts, with this style CCW wheel the Z06 rear calipers wont fit. I had the stock Z51 caliper powder coated to match the fronts.
CCW does make other stle wheels that mount the Z06 rear calipers but I liked the style of the 505's better.
