Thanks Spin, The current tires are 305's lowered about an inch w/ 1 degree of negative camber. There is plenty of room for more meat on the 11" rim. Maybe a 315 as lowered.
This picture may help.

And one on the road.

Looks like the boardwalk located in Ocean City, Md.....my home town.

Thanks, that picture is what I'm looking for. I'm going to drop CCW a call in the AM. I like the C10. Does anyone have any advice on the CCW wheels? They seem like they have a good reputation. Is there a model that works best on our C6?

For the money I dont think you can find a better quality forged wheel! And their southern hospitality when you talk to them is top notch also. Give them a call.

I'm running a 265/305 combo on my car w/o any active handling issues. If you want more traction, go to a high performance non-runflat tire.
