Default Tire Size?????'s

My CCW SP18's in a 19" staggered set up will be shipped by tomorrow. I will be running 19x9.5 up front and 19x11 on the rear. I plan to run Nitto Invo's with a 275/35/19 front tire and a 305/30/19 rear tire.

What is the widest tire someone has mounted on the front of their CTS-V? Does anyone see a problem with the width of the front tires?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I see some rubbing in your near future. Are you lowered or do you plan to be?

Lowered with Eibach lowering springs. You think the fronts will rub? I don't think I have to worry about the rear, because I know guys that have GEN 2 V's with 315's on the rear and lowered. I'm worried about the front. I may have to drop down to a 265 front.

Stainless works exhaust? I see you're also having some slight fitment issues as I've read with others.

Hardly noticeable to the untrained eye, but the car looks great otherwise. Love those wheels!

My exhaust tip on the driver side is a little crooked and the pipe also on the driver side does hang low. I wasn't to happy about that. But I do like the sound a lot. My cats are removed, mine has a little drone until you get up to cruising speed then it quietens down a lot.

FYI, I track my '09 on TSW 18x9.5" rims running 275/35 18 tires. No rubbing, whatsoever...

Been down the 1/8th--7.29 @ 98 mph is the best so far. Made a couple passes this past Thursday at test and tune, but the Traction control kept re-activating by itself. Will be trying to find out why its doing this.
