TSW Nurburgring okay so I sold my C6 17X9.5 and 18X10.5 wheels cause I didn't like them....
I'm looking at TSW Nurburgring in 18X9 with a 50+ off set in the front and 18X10.5 with a 63+ offset in the back...will these fit my car?
stock suspension.

Alright thanks, so maybe .50" spacer in the front and maybe .75 or 1" in rear...if I put a 1" spacer in the rear will I need longer studs?

They look pretty good on the wheel visualizer. I hope they look that good in person. Gonna shop around for the best price. $300/ wheel is a bit pricey

I've decided to go with C6Z06 black 17X9.5F/ 18X9.5R with General G-Max AS-03 for winter driving and C6ZR1 Gunmetal 17X8.5/ 18X9.5 with BFGOODRICH G-Force Rival
all tires will be
255/50/17F
275/35/18R
total cost is roughly $2700
so its about the same price as the TSW Nurburgring 18X9 and 18X10.5 with decent tires and 1" billet spacers.

Agreed. Have something that sets your car apart from everyone else's. TSW > C6Z's. Look for anything between 38-45mm offsets and then they wont look like inny belly buttons lol

Not to mention dropping $2700 on a OEM looking wheel. FYI Ima take a guess you were looking under C5 sizes. You'll probably have to look at the BMW 3/5 series to get the correct offset front and back.

Looking through the options if you want 10.5 rear rim. C5 rear 18x10.5 +63mm with a 20-25mm spacer in the back with E36/E46 18x9.5 +40mm for the front. Or all the way around if you wish to rotate.

okay I was looking around and they don't make the Nurburgring with a 5X120.7 bolt pattern with the proper off set... I did find a set with a 5X114 with 27+ off set in the front and +40 rear. If I got a 1" spacer with a 5X4.75 - 5X114 conversion would that work?

A 5x120mm rim will fit on the 5x120.7mm wheel stud. It is roughly .3mm off on each stud and WILL fit. It's the same pattern as the GTO/G8/Corvette and most BMW's.

I would personally not go below a 40mm off-set because at that point they start sticking out of the fender, ie 35mm. You can do 18x9.5 or 19x9.5.

tsw nurb I know im a few months behind on this post, i have been looking for a few months also at the tsw nurb wheels. I currently run the oe wheels the c6 zo6 replicas 18x9 and the 19x10 i think it is on back.
Reason is wanting to go with the 18 inch drag radial mickey that is 28 inch tall and this rear wheel should work.
I have been looking to go with tsw 18x10.5 in the back with just 18x9 up front.
Just wanting to clarify for myself if i go with the 120.65 rear wheel with the 65 offset ill need spacers? I run them on my current one just to get the even look so the wheel doesn't look sucked in.
For the front if I use the 18x9.5 120 with 40 offset that should work im hoping also.
Any info would be greatly appreciated guys, thanks.
