Default Got some CCW classics

The weather has been HORRIBLE in Houston so excuse the filthy car. Just got some new wheels from a member in Florida, paid $1000!!! Anyway they are polished classics 18x12 rears and 18x10 fronts, 305/35/18 nitto drags and 295/35/18 GSD3 in front. Front tires are a little too big, but I had them laying around so they will work for now. NO MINUTUB, the rears stick out a 1/2" or so, but I don't mind at all. I will get some nice and detailed pictures this weekend and post em up but for now these are all I got.

hehe, my black Z looks 10 times worse. This weather does suck here right now. Be careful with those tires and our weather right now.

Your car looks great! Nice drop, and the wheels really make the car look outstanding. Can't wait for some clean pics.

BTW..Did you have to use spacers for the rear? I have been looking for a set of classics in that size, but did not want to mini tub and I am not real keen on using spacers.

No spacers, something about the 12" track wheels being set up for a wider stance, if they stuck out anymore it would be too much but imo they look perfect and with them being set out a bit in the rear it looks mean from behind.

12" rear CCW classic, no spacer is needed. But a 13" rear CCW Classic, a 3/8" spacer is needed, and fender flairs to cover the tire.

Any hey, do us (me) a favor and post some shots from the back of the car, looking down the side - I want to see how far they protrude. Also, do you know the offset of the rears?

Rims look good with your car color. I've got a Sw Z06 so, I'm going with black centers. I plan to tub it over the winter so I can get some 335's under it.

sweet... I got mine a few months ago for $900 with tires already mounted. They are only 10.5" wide in the front and 11.5" wide in the rear though. No tub, no need to pull the brake ducts. They sit flush:





with centercaps:
