Default thinking about a change

on my o1 firebird i have tt2's which i have had since christmas of 02, i love them but was wanting something new, considered ccw t10's but i just dont like having to wait that long for such an expensive wheel.

also liking the deep dish c5 wheels from oe, but as usual there is always something i dont like i want 18's all around but i dont think a 10.5 inch wide wheel will fit up front, are they planning to make the 18 in a smaller width? cause im really not a fan of the staggered wheel size.

We can get just about any tire you guys want, but we have SERIOUS DEALS on certain sizes and brands that we buy in BULK. We have so many options for tires, and it is so dependent on what you want, it is usually better to call and talk to one of our technicians. Tell them you are a forum member. 1-866-273-3651

With all packages we offer free mounting and road force balancing.

285/35/18 and 315/30/18. And they do not rub. I'm planning on putting 315s on the front as well.
