Chrome wagon wheels with decals on a '98. Thinking real strongly about getting a set of CCW 505a's. Stock Goodyear 245/45 ZR17 front 275/40 ZR18 rear.

Ok - I must admit, this is one of the greatest threads - ever! Awesome cars - real cool. So, this has inspired me (actually its now beyond inspiration). I plan to order the CCW505As for my arctic white vert in the next week.
One question. Right now, I'm leaning towards 19"s all the way around - front and back. Should I consider 19 rear and 18 front, or go ahead with 19s across the board?
Also, what is the best tire brand/size for a 19x11 R, 19x10 F setup...or should I consider a different width?
Thanks in advance

Watch the width and the offsets. If they are not right the wheels can stick out beyond the wheel wells and rub, hence damage.
CCW has a great reputation. I am certain if you explain to them exactly what you want they will set you up right. You may also want have forethought about your brakes. Alot of people upgrade to bigger rotors/brakes. Not all wheels can accommodate this mod. Better to decide if you plan to do that or not before you order any wheels.

You are right man...the first 2 mods I did to my C5 convertible was get it lowered and tinted...both cost around $150-200 and makes a HUGE difference.

Chrome FOOSE Nitrous, 18x8.5 in front with 225/40 goodrich KDW's and 18X10 on rear with 265/40 KDW's. Car has been lowered by cutting a coil and a half out of the front and putting the longer bolts in the rear spring. I used stock trailing arms only had to relocate the parking brake cable bracket, brake is still functional!
