Have you tried the Corvette Forum for info ? Most of the racers there are using them and almost all the 10 & 11 second cars running at our Corvette Challenge at Englishtown use them.

Re: CCW Wheels????????
Some of the Supra guys are running them. They may be able to give you some insight...if they get off of their HIGHHORSE long enough to listen to a lowly domestic owner.

Re: CCW Wheels????????
I run the CCW's on my C5, they are 16" wheels, and I run the Hoosier 28x10x16 slicks. My car 60' @1.49 and runs 10.90's NA with this set up. I don't really care for the looks of the wheel, but they are the only one I know of that makes a skinny for the front.

Re: CCW Wheels????????
No modifications to the rear, just make sure if your car is lowered, that you raise it back up, or the tires will hit the rear quarters when you launch.

Re: CCW Wheels????????
Hey quick8, do you have any pics of your car with the 28's on the rear? Is the car real high in the rear? My 26's are close to rubbing on the launch just wondering what issues I might have. My car is not lowered either.
