Default Finally, CCW's are on the Hawk!

After hammering, spacing, and waiting, I finally go them on....and somehow they fit. They came off a 2003 ZO6, and the offsets were all wrong...but they were a good deal, and with a 3/8" billet spacer in the rear and some hammering I got them to fit, and as I like to say, "The Pollock wins Again!"
19x11" CCW 505a's with 305/30/19 Nitto Invo rears and 18x9.5" on 275/35/18fronts. 3/8"spacer on the rears...9 threads on lug bolt left...so just enough to be safe.
Now I have this set of chrome Firehawk rims....that I have to say cleaned up incredibly well with Lanes alumium wheel cleaner...this stuff rocks! They look new now....besides the typical flaking on the inside and some minor road rash on two of the lips. Anyone interested?

Thanks guys,
The front rubs slightly on the plastic wheel well front when the wheel is fully turned...the rear is good now with spacers and BFH. I drove around with a lug wrench to check the rears every now and again....those spacers make you nervous. But so far so good. Grip is great, handles well on the Stranos and Konis. Now I just need to fix my hood spider cracks, repaint the calipers, and then, detail the crap out of it and then the makeover is complete. Too bad it is a daily driver now and it'll be tough to maintain...but it is a passionate labor of love. I'll get more pics when I detail her up.

Good choice, both the wheels and the tires. I'm a big fan of Invos.

I thought our cars coudn't do staggered because it messes up the anti lock brakes or something like that.
