Default Got a deal on some CCWs that I couldn't pass up

My friend gave me a great deal on his 505a's since they were sitting in his garage. They do have some pretty bad curb rash and oxidation but that can be corrected in time.

They are 19" x 10" rims but they have some 275/30/19 tires on them so they are a little stretched. He bought them from John @ CCW that way. I do need to raise the rear of the car about .5" and buy some spacers for the rear rims...but my car already looks better.

Bobs not new just not jumping on the bandwagon. I also don't care for a majority of vette wheels on fbodys. This isn't about me tho. It is about the beautiful SS above. Mind me asking how good the deal was from your friend?

Looks great! I would just buy a little bigger tire. 295 would be perfect!

Well last week I got a flat front tire on my old set of rims (Chrome C6 5 spokes) and both the front tires were pretty low tread so I was going to have to replace them both. So I decided to give my friend a call since I knew they were just sitting in his garage. I went to his house and put them on the next day...

I've been looking online and the 295/30/19 tire would be perfect...just need to decided if I want to spend another $700 or so when the current tires have plenty of tread.

sell them if they are still fairly new and use that money to buy your new tires. Also 30 series is kinda thin on the sidewall. Wonder if they make a 35 series in those?

That seems kind of like a hassle. And it they made a 35 series it would make the tire too tall I believe. The 295/30 tires have 6 more millimeters of side wall than the 275/30.

Looks like it will be a wet sanding then polish initiative. It will be a lot of work.
