CCW Wheel size?
Ok I am looking at some CCW wheels and really am not sure waht style I want but I need to figure out what size?
I am looking to do 20's on the rear and 19's up front. Whats the best width for a 99 C5?
Rear 20x10
Front 19x9
Also I am looking between the sp18, sp20 and the sp20a, anyone know if the C6 Z06 brake kit will fit behind all of these styles? If they dont I will not b getting the rims, THANKS
ALSO WHATS THE BEST TIRES SIZE FOR THE RIM SIZES THANKS

Look at the yellow ZO6 on the home page.
I think they are only made in 18x10, 18x11 and 18x12

I just recieved my custom CCW SP500s from John, they are designed to fit over the C6 Z06 brakes. Now if I could only figure out how to get the brake lines on the calipers...
I have the wheels sitting here, as soon as the calipers are on I will post pictures.

Also....would the sp20 or sp20a wheel work with a wheel space inserted?

To use wheel spacers you will need longer studs and open ended lug nuts. I use a 3/8" stud on the rear wheels so I can use a 18x13" rim
I have the longer studs on front too: CCW Classic Track pictures 18x12" front
Price of the Motorsports wheels are $25-$2700

I have the first set of Big Brake Kit Wheels from CCW. If they fit right John will make any style you want in the right kit.
Right now, NONE of those wheels in the standard design will fit, except for maybe the classics (still need spacers). If you run a spacer you will need 1" in the rear and like 1/2 - 3/4" in the front -- in short your wheels will stick out like crazy!

the 19x9 / 20x10 combo could be made to clear the c6z brakes, as long as you didint go bigger than 285 30 20 on the rear tire, a more practical setup wpuld be the new 18x9.5/19x11 (1" smaller lips)combo we just finished up which would let you use the 305 30 19 tire out back

I have 19's all round but have not touched the brake set-up yet. Just keep in mind, the bigger the wheel the more expensive the tire. I forked over almost $1,800 for two rear tires.

When I ordered my CCW's I talked to John about the C6 Z06 brakes. They will clear but you must give up the larger lips and run a 1'-front and 2'-rear. I decided to go with the bigger lips and will get the rotors/brackets for the C6 Z51.

I have a set of HRE wheels that bolt right on over my STOPTECH bbk. 19's in front and 20's in the rear. Car is lowered and you occasionally bottom out with this setup but it looks nice. I just got a set of the CCW Corsairs for track days and they go over the bbk with lots of room to spare. To run the CCW Classics 18x11 front and 18x11 rear I have to run 1/2 inch spacers to clear the bbk.

I did, however, learn that LAPD makes modified Goodridge brake lines that will BOLT-IN directly to the C6 Z06 calipers!
