275/35/18 and 325/30/19
or 335/30/18; I wonder if 345/30/18 would fit. I've found some 345s, but I don't know - it looks like they might rub the control arms and poke outside the body. Hmmmmm.
Btw, if you want my opinion (doesn't everybody :laugh: ) I'd highly advise you to buy the upgraded 18s. Having owned both (the 19s and 18s) I think the 18s are a bajillion times better.
- Better fitment
- Easier to remove (with my 19s I had to remove the toe bar to get the tires off - jacking it up would cause them to roll forward slightly and wedge into the fender)
- LIGHTER. Almost 35% lighter at each corner. It's a big difference
- Better looks. At first I thought the 19s looked better, but not anymore. The 18s capture the car pefectly.

Since I've only ever ordered stock replacement tires, I wouldn't have imagined that a 275 and 325 would fit on a 9.5inch (241mm) and 12 inch (305mm) wheel. Good to know.
But you need some MASSIVE meats out back ..... at 325 you may as well go buy a Gallardo. 345 or bust, haha
I guess I busted though :lipsrsealed:
Oh well, worked out for the better. I :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: my CCWs now that I've had them for a while. Great rim choice for the car :thumbsup:
If I had the skill I'd find a way to fit rims like Rob has. Mmmm, massive.
What is the difference in looks between the standard vs. optional wheels? Any pics? I'm assuming one is cast vs. forged. Is that correct?

Standards are cast aftermarket....upgrades are CCW forged...
Nobody ever looks at my posts =(

Thanks for that Alex, any pics of the wheels on a finished (or at least full bodied) SLC?

Tires are typically about 1" wider than the rim.
Thanks Fran and Doc. They are great looking wheels.

Are the standard wheels the same as the Corvette Z06 Spyder wheel? Are the offsets the same 40mm (front) and 59mm(rear)? Is the bolt pattern the same 5x4.75?
I'm planning on building a SLC street only car and looking for wheel options. Do the cars being sold to Canadians come in a "roller" form (with wheels/tires)?

Offsets and backspacing of the stock rims should by the same as a c6z06 - i put mine on c6z and they all fit perfectly.
