CCW and big brake kit problems.
Well I ordered a set of CCW 19X10/19X11 SP500’s today. A few hours later John called to inform me that the standard 2’F/3’R lips wont clear a monoblock caliper. I was planning on a C6 Z06 brake setup, but it can’t be done with the 2’/3’ lip combo. It can be done, but I have to go with a 1’/2’ lip combo. I wanted the bigger lips and the big brakes, looks like I can’t have my cake and eat it too. Anyone run into this same problem? I have to give an answer to John ASAP on which I want so he can start on the wheels.
Thanks,
Bret

Yep, that's pretty much standard.
BUT, if you can make it work with the smaller lip...........
Otherwise,using a spacer may help some,but I am unsure if it would yield enough room.
Besides, your wheel would stick out some then.....

Man, John at CCW doesn't miss a thing. Great service, can't tell ya how many times I have read about wheels being ordered just to find out they don't fit. Nice wheel choice, I'll be putting in an order in a month with CCW, can't wait.
