50 mm offset ZR1's go on, but my need a little inner BFH, and if you are lowered definitely the quarter lip rolled.

46 mm offset TT2's go on but may need a little more BFH, and less likely any rolling . . .

Again, my previous statement is my personal opinion, based upon my personal taste.

On a 12" wheel the mods required would be totally dependant with the offset. A smaller offset more inner wheel well mods. A larger offset the quarter lip is at risk.

Here's info I got from Fiske regarding the berger super car wheels. I guess the rear 18x12 have a 19mm offset.

2 408918 18" Profil 13 Radial Spoke F730A18-4630
2 230835 Outer Rim 3.5 X 18 30 Hole
2 231885 Inner Rim 8.5 X 18 30 Hole
Rear = 12.0 X 18, +19mm Offset, List Price = $1,417.00 Each

got another question....
Is it good to run, lets say a smaller size tire in front and a wider tire in the back?? I was thinking like 255 front and 275 or 285 whichever I could fit on the rear....Is it good for the tread life??

FredoCamaro

iTrader: (18)

If you mismatch the tire size you won't be able to rotate your tires which mean less tread life. The purpose of putting a wider tire in the rear is for better take off traction and for a more aggressive look... If you have a 9inch rim I would do 275 all around (especially if it’s your daily driver). Or if you want the rear tires to look wide do 285 rear and the 255 in the front...

Also look for a tire that is more square then rounded will help the illusion...

question,

Tirerack.com is suggesting:
275/40/17 for a 17x10.5" rim
245/45/17 for a 17x9" rim

will these work?

Xsta Z 28

iTrader: (2)

I hate Tire Racks suggestions, they are way too conservative.

the 9" wheel can run a 275/40ZR17

the 10.5" wheel can run a 315/35ZR17

I have 19x9.5 HP evo's, and was thinking about getting some wider tires out back. Will 285/30/19"s fit without any problems?

Xsta Z 28

Should be fine, no wider of a tire though.

Hey yall, just a few questions

Im looking to get a set of CCW 505's for my '99 T/A. I assume, since they are not on the site, they dont make them in 17" sizes so Im gonna go with the 18's and was just wondering which widths yall would reccomend. Im pretty set on 18x11 (but am open to opinions) for the back but Im not sure which width wheel and what size tire for the front. I wanted to put GS-D3 315s on the back, but since they dont make them in 18" size 295 looks like my choice. (correct me if Im wrong please) Also will there be any definate fitment issues with this combo of the CCW's and the GS-D3's on the car. Thanks for any help.

IMHO, a 18" x 9.5" front with a 275/35ZR18 and a 18" x 10.5" rear with a 295/35ZR18

F-117HWK

iTrader: (1)

Does CCW make the 505 in an 18" x 9.5"? I ask cause looking at their site they list 18" x 8.5" then 18" x 10" then 18" x 11". Also do any compaines make a 315/ZR18 that would work and if so would that fit with a 10.5" wheel, or just stick with the 295 like you said?

Thanks Again,
Jason

There are a few 315/30ZR18 tires out there, such as the Michelin Pilot Sport @ $417, each.

I alsways assumed CCW would make a wheel any size you wanted . . . . OK then, I guess if those were my oly choices I'd run a 10" front and the 11" rear.

F-117HWK

iTrader: (1)

Yea Im gonna call them and ask to be sure but I was just initially going with what they listed as available. Also, would you reccomend gettin 17" instead of 18" if they make them or will that difference not really affect the fitment as far as rubbing and the like? And with the 10" in the front would you still stick with the 275? As always, thanks for the info and sorry to ask so many questions but I want as much info as possible before dropping around 4000 on wheels and tires

Yeah, Jason I'm in the same boat as you. I'm about to get my wheels made, but want to get the best width as possible. I'm still debating between 19x13, 18x11 and 18x12 for the rear. Costs me the same to have either wheel made, but when looking at the tires, there arent as many choices as Xsta said above.

I really love the GSD3 tires but they only make them in a 295 at the widest. I also read that they may be discontinuing that tire, I hope thats not true.

I'm shooting for close to 500RWHP so I'd like to have something that will grab.

Diameter of the wheel has nothing to do with rubbing issues, since one is supposed to get skinner tires so that the overall diameter of the tire si as close to stock as possible.

Beleive me I know what it is like to unload $4,000 on wheels . . .

I am guessing you are running a Camaro. If so 11" is the widest I recommend unless you want to do some serious wheel well mods.
