Default New Wheels Thread (CCW's Inside)

What's the point of working myself to death if I can't enjoy the fruits a little bit....

CCW SP550 18x9.5 Front, 18x11 Rear wrapped in Kumho XS tires.

On car pictures will be delayed a few weeks....still waiting on some more goodies....














Thanks to John and Melissa at CCW for helping me out with getting these wheels. Absolutely top notch customer service and were wonderful to work with in getting everything just how I wanted it...including the custom centercaps!!!

-Matt

what are the offsets? i sent an email to CCW to get info on the profile 5's in a 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. wonder if an 18x11 is gonna cause problems on your T/A or even a Camaro?????????

Profil 5's are Fikses I believe....

These were built by CCW with proper offsets...I just called them with my vehicle year and model and they built them to fit. I know a couple people running this size and none of them have any fitment issues.

What tire sizes did you end up going with? The whole setup looks sharp...CCW was great to work with back when I ordered my SP500s, and I'm probably going to pick up a spare set of rears with drag radials on them so I can go play every once in a while.

ya i want the Profile series FM5 in race black. just dont want them to stick out the sides. i was thinking a 11" rear on a 18" rim is pretty big in a Camaro's rear wheel well, but if they say no problem then im sure its golden. I think a 18x10.5 with a 305 wide rear would suffice for me. waiting on an email reply from them before i get to excited. was there any BFH mod needed for the 18x10+ guys out there?

If you sent CCW an email asking for specs on FM5s, you are going to be waiting for a LONG time to get a response. As was already stated, the wheels you are asking about are made by Fikse, not CCW.

ya my bad, i understood what i was typing but no one else did. I was talking about the CCW's shown here and how they fit with that 18x11 rear. I am interested in the Fikse FM5's although these CCW SP550's arent out of the question.
