^^^Thanks bro, and your avatar is one of my favorite teams of all time!!! Never been to MI, just drove through, never seen the Wings play in person, The Joe is a hockey shrine, just like the Wings, as they never quit, never have the most talent, never have a true superstar, other than Stevey Y, but have given me many great memories, my favorite being beating Wa (hated him as a Hab, too!!!) and the Lanche in the playoffs. Hope they beat the Hawks in the 1st round-HELL YEAH!!!

was it you that told me that buying that hood was a huge mistake as it was cheaply built? I think it was you but i could be wrong! I wanted that hood so bad too...

19x10 or 10.5 in the rear. With 285's

Thanks. Quality of the hood wasnt great imo. it didnt line up very well. And the body shop didnt do a much better job. The simple cowl is way cooler imo.

Yeah, i love the cowl hoods on these cars but yours looks cool too.

Not many fiberglass hoods fit as well as the stocker regardless which one you get though...

One bad cad, remind me your front tire size again. I know the rears are 295/30's. I am going to get tires on my sp600s soon and I don't have any plans to lower the car yet. Your tire size looks perfect for the stance. Thanks.

How much does a set of CCWs run typically?

Call CCW at 888.577.0144, ask for John or Chip.
Here is their site with pricing, options and galleries,

I just priced set of SP600s at $2,700 in 19" up to 10" width

I will presume you went 19X8.5F and 19X10R.
On front, I have 255/35/19, it works perfect on PS2s, have Hankook V12s at same size going on soon and hope they are similar.
On rears I have 295/30/19, again same story for PS2s and Hankooks.
A few things to consider:
1) some have gone 265 on front on stockers and claim no issues, I see no need for extra 10mm upfront
2) Utilize http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp to see if you want to consider 255/40/19, 255/35/19, 265/40/19 or 265/35/19 as it appears none create a noticeable sizing issue
3) 295/30/19 PS2s stick out a fraction, no one will ever notice, as everyone aims for the biggest meats possible in the back, without lowering I have very minor rubbing issues but I also rarely have back seat passengers
4) check out Nitto Invos and Hankook Ventus V12 at www.onlinetires.com, I have not check for a few weeks but when I do it appears they beat all other vendors regarding lowest price

Last thing, I remember a vendor on the 'other' Forum was offering a trailing arm part that would allow for a 305 in the rear, not sure when this was, but probably worth checking out.
Good luck, be sure to post pics of the best V wheels on the planet,,, actually the stockers widened are the best, but that is Pain in the ****.

sweet, ill check out the hankooks. i really wish bfg made the kdw 2s in our size but no cigar. i do have the 19x10 rears though, so ill go check out that trailing arm you speak of

1bad2k

iTrader: (10)

also, when the rears do rub on occasion, is it only the trailing arm that they actually make contact with? if so i am going to order a set of those selling on the other forum and consider the 305 30 19 hankook v12's since theyll match the 255 fronts if that is what i choose.

Those black chrome ccw's look really sexy on the black V. Hmm, now I am thinking about getting them. But at the 3k price mark, it likely won't ever happen.

CCW will sell you the rim, but I was told they no longer offer the black chroming. I was told this was done by a vendor, who was unreliable, and CCW got tired of apologizing for the long wait time.
A good alternative to the $3K cost is to get the stockers widened, check the 'other' forum for a vendor that has done such, as I would not pursue a company that has yet to do such on our wheels. Once done, you can get them done in black chrome. If you see no need for widening (some people have put 275s on the 8.5" stocker), just go for the black chrome, save some large $$$, and spent that money on 'Go Mods'. Good luck,,,

Deal of a lifetime, better move quick!!!

I just bought CCW's SP-600 w/Hankooks [Stock wheel/tire diameter is 26.7"]
19X9 front with Ventus V-12 255/40/19 ----- 27.1" Diameter
19X10 rear with Ventus V-12 285/35/19 ----- 26.9" Diameter
Stock suspension. It is maxed-out on size & fit.
Obviously a softer ride than RSA's & a very aggressive look.
Not enough time & mileage to make an informed opinion.

^^^sweet combo!
Post again once you can advise on the performance of the Hankooks, as mine set should be on the V within the next month. My comparison will be vs. OS2s, which were the last two sets I had on the V.

im thinking 255/35 fronts and 305/30's in the rear both hankook v12's. i cant wait to get em on these and then the car.
