Does any one have this combination. I am ordering a set of CCW 18X9.5 F and 19x11 R. The idea is to really have a beefier tire on the rear w/ significant side wall. One concern is the Invo by Nitto having enough room in the back. Will this work?

If you do have this set up w/ 345/30/19 or 295/35/19, and 18's up front I would like to see pics, and know the specs on front tires and the name of the tire company used. I've done a ton of searches and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help!

imho...the 295 rear tire is going to look and ride the best on a 11" wheel. If you want 345's and want the tire to be flush to the rear panel then you're going to need to tub or get the L-5 2" flared rear quarters, also a 345 should really be on no smaller than a 12" preferably 13" wheel....otherwise I believe you'll have sort of a bubbled side wall.

To sum up...if you must use a 11" wheel get the 295's.

My rear tire is a 345/30/19. It's mounted on a 19 x 12.5" rim. You need a 305 or 315 IMO but if memory serves, not a big selection of tires in the 315 category if any.

And my front is a 275/35/18 on an 18 x 10 rim.

Good luck.

Below is a picture of my car with CCW, 18's on the front and 19's on the rear. I'm running 275x35 front and 305x 30 on the rear. My car is not tubbed and the Michelins PS tires do stick out approximately 1" outside of the fear fenders! I'm not real happy with the look and am playing with the idea of replacing the rear fenders with flared ones. Some of the protrusion out of the fender is the design of the Michelin 305 tire as it has a rather large lip on it to protect the wheel. If I were to do it over--I'd figure out a wheel/tire combo that would be within the fender!! I hope this info helps, Ron

Thanks a lot for the input. I may go w/ 285/35/19. Any more input,pics, and specs would be appreciated.

I have 295/35/19 BFG KDWs on my CCWs and love them...

345's should be on a 12+ inch rim. Pirelli and nitto make some good tires for 19's that come in 305's which would be a much better choice.

Pulled the trigger. Just ordered CCW SP500 19x11 w/ 295/35/19 and 18x10 w/ 275x35x18. Thanks for all the input.

What kind of fenders do you have. They look like L5s but you don't have the fender flares?? Did you customize the fenders? Thanks! Jeff

he made those himself.

As jdm said, they are home-made flares. They took me a few hours.

I've been building custom rocker panels since Labor Day. My design has a slight curve to them and they blend into my flares, add to the wide stance of my car and should minimize rocks hitting my flares. Hopefully it'll be warm enough to paint on Wednesday. Here's a pic after my 3rd blocksand and primer session. Since cold weather was coming, I was in my garage Thursday all day and didn't quit until I was done spraying primer at 3:00am. I'm using House of Kolor products now and this is HOK's epoxy primer, very nice stuff and I'm sold on epoxy primer now vs polyester based primer.



I'm also redoing my front fascia and headlight covers and of course the door jambs too. I spent a lot of time in the door jambs getting the flat, smooth and filled in the drain dimples. After I get everything painted, I'm going to leave my car grounded and start reworking a Specter Werkes rear fascia (I can't leave anything alone) and make a one-piece rear clip.
