Pics of the new wheels.

Good deal. I went with the 245/40 'n 275/35 setup. I love the look of the KDW2 tread. I just wished I had more lip on that rear, but it looks nice enough. I mean, if I had a 12" and fender flairs, I could pull off somethin' nasty.
I also love the look of a high finish. I didn't have the ***** to do it. Felt it may be too much chrome. So I went black with polished lips. I do give it up, your car looks pretty fucken sick.
Oh, are you havin' any rubbing issues at all? Even under loaded turns or big bumps on the highway? I have the Eibach kit with CTS sports out back. When I first got my wheels on, I rubbed pretty bad. A friend and I rolled the fenders and it seems to be OK now. Just had to send my fronts back to be resized (9's were about 2mm's too wide in my offset) and I'm anxiously awaiting their return (tomorrow as the promise date).

Im not having any rubbing issues whatsoever as of now, I probably will when I get the pro kit put on, if so I can always roll the fenders. Thanks for the compliments fellas.

Keep us posted, placed an order with CCW a few days back and when talking to them they said they had someone put 295's on... Would like to see & hear about the results after you install the pro kit...

Parker,
My 295's only rub if the car bottom's out (dip in the freeway). I rolled the lips a little bit more so the tires only touch a little bit on a severe dip. It would never be a problem hurting the wheel well or tire. Lowering I think would cause some serious issues though. I think if you are going to lower that a 275 would be a better choice on the rear. I just like how this things looks from the rear with the 295's though.
