Default Question for those with CCWheels

Hey,

Looking at getting a CCW street package.
Right now I have 295 18inch rears and 275 18inch fronts.

I dont have serious mods...but what size are you guys running with your CCWs with street tires.
Should I just use the 295s or should I go wider?

What size can I go in the rear without tubbing?
And what size would be good for the fronts? Keep the 275 18s? or if I get new tires for the rear than I could use 295 fronts :eek: ???

I would suggest going with the 295's on the rear. I am not a big fan of the 335's they stick out about 1/4 of an inch. If you look at forum member's flyinbrian and Matt G's cars you will see how sweet the 295's look.

335s all the way :yesnod:


Actually cheaper than the 295 Michelins right now, more rubber to the ground for traction, looks mean :reddevil


As for them sticking out- they barely do. And it doesnt look cheesy in any way shape or form IMO. Gives it a much more aggressive stance and saves you ~2k for tubbing :cool:
