Tire ? for ccw's
Recebtly purchased a set of ccw 505a's off of a forum member. to go on my 04'cpe. Rims are 19x10 front and
are 19x11 rear. Going to be running Nitto Invo's on them and for the life of me cant remember what size tires to run without throwing everything out of whack ie, speed sensors, active handling, etc. I thought the rears were 305 or315x30x19but I don't know for sure on EITHER the front or rears. Any and ALL help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
PS if anyone has the RED Z06 brackets and cakipers I'm looking for those as well
Thanks everyone!!!!

If you are actually running those sizes I cannot understand how you are not having AH/TC problems unless your car is a pre 2001 that does not have the AH/TC setup installed. It was optional prior to 2001.
The overall diameter of the 275/30-19 is 26.5" and the overall diameter of the 305/30-19 is 26.2".
This combo makes the front tire larger than the rear tire. It is supposed to be that the rear tire overall diameter is larger than the front. Are you perhaps running an 18" front rim??????

I run TOYO Proxis T1R's,, 315 on the back and 275 on front I will get the complete tire specs when I get home. The 315 fit the 11' wide rims a WHOLE lot better than the 305's ever did!!!!!!!! The wheels look a WHOLE lot better with the 315"

I love my TOYOs. They work excellent and have the best cold weather maners of all the performance tires that Ive ever owned:
Heres a pic of the car on a dyno that shows how they fill the fender:
Heres a picture of the Prellie P ZERO tires that came with the CCW 505a when they were new. Worst tires that ive ever owned and they did NOT look good on the 505a rins. They just didnt fill out the width of the rims. The 315's fit a WHOLE LOT better and hook up excellent!
Yep,, they hook up good and leave some NICE marks with 450 RWHP:

Bill surprised you run that size front. I always found after 285 the tires would wander with the groves in the road from trucks .

I've got Invos, but in staggered sizes, and I use the 325-30/19 on the rears. No clearance problems, but I kind of miss the look of a 35 series tire on the back. The 30 series isn't "rubber band" like some 25 series, but still, I think the 295-35/19s I had before filled the wheel well better. OTOH alot more rubber on the road, now.

This is an interesting topic since I am in the market for some new tread on my 505a 19's. Car will be putting down around 600rwhp. Not looking to dead hook but don't want to be on skates either. Been looking at Invos but want some alternatives. I also would love a 35 series on the rear.
