Default Lewis Five's and CCW's

New CCW SP500's 18x10 and 19x13 with 275x35 and 345x30 PS2's.





My rear quarters are normally Arctic White and they will be again in about a week. We fitted the Lewis Five flares - which needed VERY little work. While we were at it, we glassed in the rear side marker lights. It gives a much cleaner line to the fenders. Not a drop of Bondo.

Thumbs up

That's going to look amazing when it's all done Kevin! I'm a big fan of the simple 5 or six spoke wheels on the C5's.
With the power and torque your motor makes I don't know if the 345's are going to help much with traction on the street though!
Can't wait to see the pics when it's all done!

I have a set of 14inch Edradispeed Plus 2's for the back - they match the front. I had to take them off with the Classics but they go back on now. The calipers will be black.

Best looking wheel on a C5 IMHO.

Had you considered the R888's?

I have PS2's & it has to be warm ambient air temp with my deceased 346 or traction was marginal. My 416 should be running this week & Ive been considering going back to 18's & the R888's.

The PS2's are a very nice tire, awesome turning traction, actually you can flutter your heart at times. Worth dollars.

At the end of the day this car is just a cruiser. I really didn't like the PS2's until I did the coilovers and PFADT sway bars. Then, the PS2's felt great and worked well even being traction limited on hard starts. The 345's should help some but I think the 427 will still turn them pretty hard.
