Default new wheels

Hi,
I want to change my OEM wheel on my 2006 C6.

Before choose among couple of style, I would like to know what are my possibilities, (in term of offset, size..etc) if I want to change my wheels but keep my OEM tires.

I don't want to have problem with my traction control, TPMS and all that stuff.

I neither don't want to use wheel spacer ..

Any suggestions?

I like the Grand Sport model ,especially Silver one, if exist, and Spider models.

Have great Holidays...

They are 1/2" wider, but the correct offset.
