Full Polished CCW Classics and Recaro's added
Since CCW is just down the road from me, and I have a friend that works there I decided to head over there one day and check out some wheels. Dan actually built a couple different wheels to try and get the sizes and offsets just right. Dismounted my tire to assure proper fitment. Ended up with full polished, fully swissed classics in 18x10 F and 18x11 R. F offset is 50, never got a number on the Rears. Running 285/35 and 265/35 and it rides great and really handles well. Also added Recaro Pole Position SPG seats, and NRG Harness bar.

The guy I bought the car from had already done all the swap work. The gauge cluster was necessary because the car also uses the GM traction control, ABS, keyless entry, and alarm, and also fuel tank and evap system. Some of those systems go through the cluster.

Yeah I messaged Dan on Facebook the other day, hoping to get an answer this week. Stock trailing arms by the way. Fenders are rolled. My car is a little off somehow, the alignment settings are correct but for some reason my drivers rear sticks out more than the passenger side, so I'm getting some slight rubbing under compression, but I just grabbed my buddies roller today, so I'll just massage it some more and make it work.

These are all I have at the moment. This was before adding the rear mufflers. It's actually an SLP loudmouth cat-back system from an Fbody, modified a little bit. It goes into a single 3" resonator, then splits again into dual 2.5's to attach to the headers. The Fbody fuel tank made this possible.

I must say I am a little disappointed with CCW's fitment numbers for the 18x10's in the rear. Front is dead on. I got the 18x10 sp500's with +50.5 all round and the back just plain old sits in too far. Even with a 5mm spacer. :-( I have coilovers and aftermarket trailing arms and could easily fit 18x11 had the offset been more precise.
Also those rears are probably around +40 being that they are 18x11 and stock trailing arms and needing a little pulling on the fenders.

Hard to see in pics because everything is black, at the closest point, on the very side on the top of the seat near the window I have about 1.5" of clearance, on the top of the seat to the roof it's about 3"
Plenty of room.

Never knew CCW was in Orlando and I lived there for 6 years, lol. Might have to take a trip down there when I get my seven running to get the exact wheel fitment I want.
Awesome looking car!
