Default jittrbugg — C14 question

jittrbug,

Those come only in 18's?

Do you have tire size recommendations for an 18x9.5/18x11 setup on a C5?

Is there a better setup? (reason?)

Do you have a price available for 18x9.5/18x11?

Thanks

Interesting you ask that. I just had a long discussion last week with Melissa from CCW about the same exact wheels. I am thinking about upgrading to CCW's very soon. Yes, they only provide 18" tall wheels in these models. I would recommend 265 or 275/35/18 for the fronts and 295 or 305/35/18 for the rear. It also depends on the brand of tires you want to run. I am planning 18x10 and 18x11 with 275/35/18 and 295/35/18 with the Toyo T1R's. I would rather go with 305 for the rear, however the largest size 18's Toyo puts out is 295's. I believe she quoted 2600-2700 for the wheels. Good luck and give them an e-mail. They responded very quick and they offer first rate service.

Most of the sizes are 18". We now have 19x11 and 19x12 C14 forgings. I will pm you the price. Tire sizes do vary depending on what brand you choose like what was was already stated. Anywhere from 265-275 in the front and 295 to 315 in the rear.
