Default What wheel offset ??

I have a 2004 Z06 and am wanting to go with 18" wheels on all four corners. Do I need to worry about wheel offset and if so what offset should I go with. Also looking for ideas for a good light weight wheel for track use.

BBK? or stock brakes. I have Forgelines-expensive but I think the Speedline stock ZO6 rears run square are good and light and cheap if u find them. Also have a set of TSW Nurburgrings with A6's and they are light and good quality as I have been told. I run all 3 sets. Look at the TSW's--very affordable-$1200 or so vs $3500 for Forgeline. Having said that--Forgelines are probably the best and repairable.
