Thanks for your feedback and information....though this is a forum...so if threads like this are tiresome I think it best you move onto the next post....I've done a lot of research but before I invest a lot of money I want to make absolutely sure that I have the correct specs...pictures help tremendously....I've not seen a post yet that lists definitive specs....every member has a different tire...slightly different widths...thus slightly different offsets/backspacing...different lips...car is lowered/not lowered....I've spoken with CCW extensively as well...unfortunately John is no longer there...otherwise this would be much easier...thus far their customer service hasn't been the best...response time has been a bit slow as well...I just want to make sure everything is correct the first time....appreciate everyone's help!!
All the best,
Michael

Michael, I have CCW SP 16a's on my 03 Z06. The following are the specs for those wheels that I worked out with John. I had some basic thoughts of what I wanted. One to be able at some point to move up to a bigger brake kit, wheels not sticking out from the bodywork and the use of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. This is what I ended up getting:
Fronts 19" x 9.5" with 7.30" of backspace. Offset of +52. Wheel lip is 1". Tires are 265/30/19.
Rears 19" x 11" with 8.15" of backspace. Offset of +64. Wheel lip is 2". Tires are 305/30/19.
I am very happy with my wheels with the exception that they take a lot of work to keep looking new but worth the effort.

Probably my favorite of the CCW monoblock series. Hard to beat a clean mesh design. I ran SP505As on my MKIV Supra Turbo back in 2003 or so, but always wanted the SP16As.

Another picture I located 20 x 11 2" lip 8.700 backspacing this also has 1/16" spacer due to the shallow hub center depth, at ride height before I installed my drop spindles 1/2 degree negative camber. The backspacing on my 19 was 8.650. And this is what I requested not what is std from CCW

specs
I've grown tired because I've already given you all the aspects of consideration. It doesn't matter what I have, if you like my look... I could give you my specs
You have not defined what you want as ive asked repeatedly and you being so rude as to tell me to move on is like shooting your self in the goot. Next to John at CCW who has moved on to building guns full time my friends and fellow gun builder , I would be your best source for your needs... but I'm moving on, you are not worth my time.

After a lot of back and forth I've decided I'm going to order CCW SP540's for my 03 Vert...fully polished finish....19" front and back....I want some help on the proper backspacing/offset so the wheels/tires sit flush with the fenders...I can't stand poke...
Front 19" x 10" (2" lip).....would run a 275/30/19 tire
Rear 19" x 11" or 19" x 11.5" (3" lip)....305/30/19 tire
Thinking of Michelin Pilot Super Sports...I know they run a little wide...I'm open to other ideas as well...Nitto, Toyo etc.
My car is pretty low....lowered on Stance coilovers. My current setup is CCW SP550's....19" and 20"...not sure on exact specs as I bought them used...tire size is the same as I listed above (Nitto NT05's) except for the rear being 20".....they fit perfectly.
All the best,
Michael
