CCW wheels

Looks like I am in for a slight delay. The Michelin tires are back ordered everywhere until the first of June. I can get the fronts but not the rear's.:ack:
305 30 19

I had the same worry last year. CCW finally found me two 305's but could not get the 275/30/19 for the front. Had to settle for 265/30/19.

Good luck with your search.

Sucks man.....I'm going to give John a call in the morning and see if he has a couple sittin around.
If the tire is this popular you would think Michelin would plan ahead a little.
Probably happens every spring.:nono:

None on the planet. Think I'm going to look at the Nitto Invo.

Best of luck Bill! Can't wait to see your ride with the new rims (and tires) on it!

Ended up going with another set of Falken's. 275 30 19 front & 305 30 19 rear. I have them installed with new pads and rotors as well so I'll post a few photos when this weather straighten's up. Lowered the car on the factory bolts just a wee bit as well.
Love the end result!

Just a couple of quick photos......short on time lately. Suspension lower just a wee bit on stock bolts.

Thank you Graham! I feel it was totally worth it. Need to pick up a low profile jack now so as to get the wheels completely cleaned properly inside the wide barrels.

Bill, nice design of CCW wheels you picked. I have always like a wheel that has a lip and that is one reasons why I went with CCW over some of the other wheel brands. Your car looks great lowered a bit, very nicely set up.

I found with mine the quicker you can get at the wheels to clean them the easier the job is. I put a couple of coast of Rejex on mine over the winter and that does seem to help wash away any dust from the barrels.

I am going to buy one of the Swiffer dusters that Graham suggested. Never thought of using one of those, good idea.

Looks great. :Thumbsup:

Love the wheels Bill! Gorgeous!

I think the duster would be fine periodically but when I wash the car which is pretty often, I want to be able to get into the wheel from the front to wash the barrels out and dry. I plan to just jack each corner just enough to spin the wheel. It's amazing how much sh!t accumulates inside the barrel.
Thanks for the compliments guy's! Next year some engine work and gear changes up at Manny's. Hopefully in a couple of years a supercharger.
