Hope I made the right choice. Chip said I should go with the 11.5 width rim in the rear but I do not want the tires sticking out beyond the fender lip too far. QUOTE]


Im sure you make the right chose. Heck you cannot go wrong with any CCW wheels IMO. I just purchased a set of 505a's from Chip last fall and love them. I did go with the 11.5 rear rim. The 1/2 inch extra with is on the inside of the rim so they dont stick out any further than the 11 inch and they dont rub with my 305x30x19 Nitto invos (love the tires and love the $ savings).
Thanks for the feedback Jeep/C5. You made my day.

Thanks. Those 505s and that stripe package look great on your car. Love it.

I agree with what Jeep/C5 says about the extra 1/2". Not to be a downer but be prepared for them to stick out a little bit. John told me that mine would not stick out and I have a slight buldge all the way around. I have probably contacted 20 or so CCW owners with my combo and everyone reports pretty much the same thing. It looks ok it was just a shock after specifically asking him about it. I had 18x10 / 19x11 with 275/295 combo.
