Default Ccw 505a?

I'm looking to buy a set of CCW 505A wheels for my TA and I have a couple questions about them before I spend the money.

1. What size would you guys recommend? I was thinking 18" x 9.5" in the front and 18" x 10" or 11". I would prefer 18 x 11" in the rear if they will fit. I don't want any rubbing or clearance issues.

2. If any of you guys have these wheels out there can you post some pics along with what size wheels I would appreciate it.

Cheers

Here is a picture of my ride:

most everyone with the CCWs go with 18x10 front and 18x11 rear. I know they have a gallery on the website that has several pics.

The 505 will look sick your drop top. Just call up CCW and talk to them about what size is best. He will know exactly how to make it to fit your car the best way possible.

I have 18x10 and 18x11 SP500s and my car is lowered 2". The rears don't stick out at all, they actually line up perfectly with the quarter panel. I have noticed, however, that unlowered cars with the same wheels have the illusion of sticking out because of the gap between the wheel well and the wheel. No modifications required, except for a little BFH on the inside of the wheel well in the rear. No big deal though.

You won't be disappointed either, the wheels look good in pictures but are amazing in person. I couldn't believe how good they looked when I first got mine.
