The Official CCW Thread
The biggest deciding factor for me was tire availability. Once you go over 255 width, there are simply no good options in 17". Doesn't make much sense to get completely custom widths (11"+) and offsets if there aren't any tires to take advantage of it. I would have been very tempted to go 17" if there was a nice selection of 275/35 or 285/35 street tires. I have had a lot of different 17" setups, decided to go 18" and I don't regret it. My particular wheel (LM5) has a fairly small center and large stepped lip which makes the wheel look smaller than it really is.

If 18s look like 17s now I'm afriad if I drop 2K+ on wheels my 17s will look too small. These honestly look like 17s to me...

s2ki, CCW owners and fitment gurus, please help. What sizes wheels/tires I should run with most lip possible and least stretch possible? Really love CCW LM5Ts but this is becoming a headache... first time I'm spending A LOT of money on wheels so I just don't want to mess up.
For the record all my fenders are rolled, relocated tab, and I want to avoid pulling. I want a nice moderately aggressive flush look.
