Default CCW - Fitment Help Please

I'm looking at CCW's 505's split spoke wheels sold by WCC in chrome. 19x10's and 19x11's. They are suggesting 275/30/19 and 305/30/19 tire's. Does anyone have any experience with this setup. I do not want the tires sticking out of the wheel wells? Anyone that has experience with this setup please comment. Post a pic of this setup, It would be appreciated.

Cubman I think you mean 19x11's or 11.5's (as far as the rear size you listed above).

Here is my car with SP500's, different wheel, but the off-set & backspacing should be pretty much the same. These are 19x11 fronts & 19x11.5 rears. Same size tires you listed above. See sig...

The front wheels are flush (dead on) to the body of the car. The rears do come out a 1/8 to 1/4 inch on each side, but this is based on the Lip Protector the Michellin PS2's have NOT because of the wheel. I truly do not mind. However, folks like Toque on here have gotten tires like the Bridgestone RE-11 which have a much smaller lip protector, therefore completely flush on the rear as well. Good luck!!

If they are CCW wheels just call John the owner of CCW. He will
help you.
I talked to John in the flesh and he gave me the nickel tour of his
operation Nice shop. We talked about alot of things and one was
chromeing his wheels. He doed not offer it because the chrome will
wear off in 2 years or sonner. The aluminum will not take to the
chrome for very long. I would think about this advise from a expert.

Nothing against WCC, they have great customer service, but if you want CCW wheels on your car, talking to the CCW directly will get you a set that fits perfectly for your car.

I'm on my second set of CCW's. First Big Street Classics and now SP500's. In both cases, I called and spoke with John and simply told him I wanted as wide as I could go but definitely not stick out at all. The SP500's are for the L5 fenders I added an told John that. The Classics were 18x10.5 and 18x11.5 and I ran 275x35 and 315x30 PS2's both ends perfectly flush. The SP500's are 10.5x18 and 13x19. I run PS2's again with 275x35 and 345x19 and once again, both ends are perfectly flush and not even 1/8 of an inch off.

John, Chip and Melinda are all great to work with and I couldn't ask more from a vendor.

These are the ones I'm looking at. (In chrome)
CCW said they could drop ship to have chromed, probably Cal Chrome, or I could get them from WCC.

im running the tire size the OP mentioned. Rears stick out just a little but hardly noticeable. This was taken today after a quick wash and some blackfire wet diamond.
