Default Looking for a set of wheels for the track!!!!

I have a 09 coupe. I want to run the 18x9.5s up front with the mt 305/35/18 in the rear. I want the rear tire to be inside or flush with the fender. I can't live with it sticking out the slightest bit. I will run this setup on the street also considering I have only put 80 miles on my car in the last 5 months. I was looking at some ccw's, forgeline, and 360 forged but not sure on the right offset and wheel width. thanks in advance. james

Talk to John at CCW. He'll get you set up correctly.

Not sure if you're looking for C5 rims or C5/C6 replicas but there are some 18x9.5s out there that use the the C5 rear wheel's offset (65mm) which does happen to sit very nicely in the wheel well on the back of a C6 (non Z06).
Those 305-35-18s will fit on those rims as well but it's certainly not an ideal set up with only a 9.5" wide rim (10.5" - 11.5" wide would be better).

i have the c6 zo6 repos right now. i have the 18x9.5s in the front and the 18x10.5 in the rea. the fronts are great as far as fitment. the rears stick out about a 1/4 of a inch on both sides. its agravating. thanks
