Default lt1's with tt2's or sp500s?

please post your pics of your lt1 camaros with tt2's or ccw sp500s. im trying to figure out what to get as a driving tire since im going to get bogarts for the track. im thinking for the tt2's to get 17x9.5 up front and a 17x11 or 18x11(special order) out back. for the sp500s 18x10s up front and 18x11s out back. let me know what you think and money isnt an issue.

sp500s hands down if you have the $$$$. TT2s will look great too if you decide on those, but theres nothing that would look better than the CCWs.

How did the rear wheels fit - did you have to massage the fenders at all?

I had to roll both side's wasnt any big deal, and they werent bad just rubbed on a hard bump. but drove me nuts.

There 7 1/4 backspace in the rear, which is the most you can get without going to a custom fit.

Well if you like both wheels the same, I would certainly get the less expensive wheels (TT2s)

but IMO there is no comparison, CCW wheels are so ballin! Tough to keep clean, but even dirty I still stare at my wheels in amazement!

285s up front and 295s out back
Yes I rolled the fender lips flat, 1st ride out I cut into the sidewall of both rear tires on the 1st bump I hit
Luckily it wasn't deep enough to cause any problems, but I ordered the roller that night and didn't drive again until I rolled em. All good now.

By the way, I rent the tool out if anyone is interested

18x11s

I wouldn't do anything smaller than 18x10.5 out back due to the lip you will give up. There is a such a huge difference in lip sizes from 18x11 and 18x10
