Default PICS - New CCW Classic BIG Street Setup - 315 rear tire with NO TUB!

I've always loved the CCW Classics with black centers. I had the black center drag pack on my old FRC. But never went with the big street setup because the old Pilot Sport 335 tires used to stick out of the fenders, if only 3/4 of an inch. Now, with these new 315/30/18 Michelin PS2s mounted on an 18x11.5" wheel, they fit PERFECTLY FLUSH. It's amazing, the car looks so evil with the new 315 meat out back. The much larger front tires (275/35/18 on an 18x10 rim) look great too. No rubbing, everything just looks and fits perfect, great job on the offset by CCW. Being an FRC I can't say if they would rub the Z06 brake ducts like the 335 Pilot Sports did, but I plan on adding the ducts eventually, so I'll report on how they fit when I do. Being able to run this much tire without tubbing the car or swapping fenders is awesome.

Big thanks to CCW for answering all my e-mails and making me some beautiful wheels that have changed the personality of my car 1000%.

Oh yeah, BTW, the inside ducts WILL NOT fit. You can use the outside screens but will have to remove the inside part of it. Thats how its on my car

That's what I figured. No big deal, I'm man enough to admit I'm just installing them for looks.

Outside screens with cut will still be somewhat functional

They look like they stick out... but maybe just the sidewall and not the tread?

That is amazing that those are stuffed in w/o tubbing!

Thanks guys.

Jay, tint is on the way! I think I'll give the 'ol Tint Man a call tomorrow to make an appointment. I'm going to ask if they can do a strip of black vinyl at the top of the back window to get around the dot matrix issue.
