Default TSW wheels

Has anyone put nurburgring 18 inch front and 19 inch back wheels on a C7 Z51. Worrying about fit and rotor clearance. Thanks

yes, I think C7 Jake has some pics. I'm sure he might post some of his.

Can't find z51 with Nurburgings.


TSW Website doesn't differentiate between base and z51.

I think its hard to find Z51 with Nurburgrings since people with the Z51 like those wheels.

I just found what I could.

Not sure why the OP wants to do this. I imagine they want to run all season run flats which are only available in the smaller size but a little context might help. We do know that factory 18's will not fit on the front on a Z51 without repositioning the wheel weights. I can't find the thread on the topic but I recall reading it.

I was agreeing with the first comment from mjw930 mainly, about the confirmation of fitment being likely incorrect..

I put 18/19 TSW Panoramas on my z51 and they fit no problem. I would think Nurburgrings would be the same. Make sure to order the nuts with the TPS, they come separately.
