Question Please help! Final wheel decision.

I know, I know this is another "is this OK" post but I need some of the experts to chime in to give me some confidence before I spend some $$$$$$$.

I am going to buy CCW 505's. Here is what is making my decision so tough. I am lowered using G2's and I refuse to beat on my car (roll the fenders).

Because of these limitations I have decided to error on the safe side with rear wheel width and go with 18X10's. Looking at the wheel chart a 10" wide wheel is listed under front wheels area with a 42mm offset.

How will a 18 X 10 with a 42mm offset look on the rear?
Will I have room for a 295 or 305 without rolling fenders?
Will I still have a decent rear wheel lip?

CCW doesn't offer a 9" wide wheel so I will have to go with 8.5 for the fronts. What offset should I get for the front?

Thanks in advance for everyones help. Please everyone with experiance with this post.

Your better off calling CCW and no asking here. They build the wheels to fit your car.

I wouldn't shy away from running 11s in the rear because of fender rolling...it isn't as bad as you'd think. As long as you use the proper tool and take your time, it is really quite simple.

CCW will answer all your questions, they have GREAT customer service. You tell them what YOU want and they will get you the correct offsets. You shouldn't have any problems running 295s either. Good luck with your purchase, you are going to be a happy man in a few weeks
