Default Proper Offset for C6 19x11; 18X9.5

Okay, so I have read all the info on here about this and still cannot come up with a solid answer to the question. I am planning on getting a set of 19x11 +73MM and 18x9.5 +53MM and am going to run 325/30 and 275/35. Has anyone run this combination and do they stick out at all? I prefer to keep it tucked and not have any tire sticking out of the quarter panel. Any help or converastion is much appreciated.

I run the exact same size wheels you list. I have 305's in the rear and the widest part of the sidewall sticks out a few mm. The wheel itself and tread do not stick out. I think a 325 would but it also depends on the make of tire as widths differ.
The wheel size you mention sound like Ace wheels.

For a perfect fit you should have 11" at +79 and 9.5" at +56



275's in the front, 305's in the rear. 325's will also fit.

I agree these are ideal offsets but you won't get them without spending a lot more.

So, 79 Offset and 56 Offset. Where do I find these wheels. Don't say CCW, because I have been to their site and did not see a single wheel that I liked. I am looking at the Ace wheels and they seem to be the closest to the offset. My only issue with going with a 305 275 setup is the 305 is little shorter than stock and the 325 and there is already plenty of gap between the tire and the fender. So with the 79 offset you have no inside rub?

79 won't rub but I don't know of anywhere to get them other than CCW.

I-Forged or any other 3-piece wheel. I bet the new HRE and other mono-block wheels can be made to your request.

So does anyone have pics of this wheel setup with 325's on the back? I really just don't want to make a mistake and I am not planning to spend $5K on a set of wheels. It just doesn't make financial sense to me. I am only doing this to have a set of cold weather and warm weather tires and wheels and I absolutely hate GY tires.
