Cadillac CTS-V - Wheels & Suspension

This is for the V1 guys...
Is anyone running a 9 or 9.5 up front and 10 or 10.5 in the rear having rubbing issues? Whats type rims are you running and tire sizes? I want to go to with a 19x9 in the front on a 245/40/19 and 19x10 in the rear with a 275/40/19. With the 19's should i come down to a 35 series tire but i have heard the ride will not be good at all... Any input is welcomed...:usa:

I have a 275 35 19 in the rear and notice little to no difference in ride quality. The diameter is a closer match to the front 245/45/18

With 10's in the back they might rub on the trailing arms seems like some do and some don't. There are threads about modified trailing arms to fix this. 275/35 and 285/35 would be good choices for a 19x10.

There's a large price difference in a 285 vs 275 tire... along with availability. Just a FYI

The roads down south are way different then the crappy roads here in Maryland... I think the roads at home in Detroit are much better! What
type of wheels and suspension are you running?

I drive some of the worst roads in Atlanta, Dekalb Ave and all of the old narrow street neighborhoods with oak roots growing through the asphault.

My sig has my current setup - STS'V wheels and H&R springs with FE4 shocks. I could probably replace the rear shocks at least. Only one of my shocks has been replaced up front.

I will be back down in Kennessaw, and Marietta next month. Do the V's down there cruise?

I've met two guys randomly, but there haven't been any formal meets. The first Sunday of every month there's usually a great meet for all cars in the Alpharetta area. Caffeine and Octane.
