I have the same wheels 17" great choice
In case anybody is looking I carry a full line of Rims... We can get just about anything out there at a good price... I have about 4-5 set of wheels picked out that nobody up here has posted that are simply nasty You guys are going to make me order a set:biggrin:
And like a said in an earlier post, you are limiting yourself with those wheels.Don't know why but I just seen this post,
May I ask, Why do you say i'm limiting myself with these wheels?
Ooookay!Scott, like I said earlier, I'm done with this post. Bolt the wheels on the car, I'm sure they will fit just fine with the stock springs and even a 579lb front spring.
Thanks!Here's a similar GN that I saw at the Bates Nut Farm show in SoCal a few years ago...
BTW this rear tire was 335mm wide. I didn't ask about the other specs but needless to say it was sweet. When I spoke with the guy he stated that there was absolutely no rubbing...
Good Luck on the install.

But do take OFFENSE to people, who say what works and don't work when the clearly are having issues with their set up, like stredding tires
Sure that tire isn't a 285 or 295? Looks like it from the pics.
Just my observation
REALLY? Not rubbing at FULL LOCK or On the outside!! I even had someone sitting right here watching me just swap out the wheels & tires and that person also went with on the test drive!! A witness is always good to have...no offense to anybody but I don't care what you guys say. Without a crapload of negative camber up front 4.75" of wheel sticking out from the spindle is gonna rub the outside. (and probably the inside at full lock)
Are you shocked yet? Because it was done WITHOUT A HEAVY SPRING AND STILL DON'T RUB!!! IV'E GOT: STOCK SPRINGS, LARGER WHEELS & TIRES than what most are running and a LOWER FENDER LIP HEIGHT than most too, No Rub!!! :biggrin:i would just be shocked if they don't rub unless you run a very very heavy spring and are not much lower than stock.
Knowone is asking you to buy it! If you don't and your in BG some year I suggest you stop by the GNS Performance booth to see for your self! Maybe we will even take you for a ride!! Eric had 5 guy's in his car one year at BG and guess what? NO RUBBING!!!Not only that but every car IS different. Not all bodies are mounted on the frame evenly and thus it may rub one side while the other side fits perfect. I just don't buy it, sorry.
LOL I know, Eric has been running these wheels and tires for 5 years and fit fine! It shouldn't be rocket science to SEE that it's working fine!!Its not rocket science to know what will and won't fit.
Thanks! Looks good so far... :biggrin:good luck!
Your welcome to call John (He's the owner) at CCW any time and ask him yourself how wide these tires are lip to lip. They were ordered as 18" X 9.5" for the front and 18" X 10" for the rear. People can bicker over these sizes all they want and it all boils down to this, " It is, what it is" the tire sizes are tire sizes, No matter what it's still a 255 /35 18 tire on the front and the back spacing IS 4.75 !!!!Well lets see some pics.... BTW are you sure you guys aren't measuring the actual width of the wheels? I mean an advertised 17x8 will measure from lip to lip on the outside as a 9" wheel. Excessive, Ive looked at an admired your car for a while, but honestly I don't see them being a true 17x9.5 wheel. They just don't look that wide, Im sure im wrong but my sisters 17x9.5s on her Z28 look quite a bit wider(as do my 17x9.5s in the rear but 285s change that). I guess putting a 245 on a 9.5" wheel can make it appear smaller. Mine don't rub lock to lock, never said they did, I said that a 9.5" wheel would though if lowered enough and with that much BS. I don't have any rubbing issues and sit a tad lower than your 24" so I have no problems with any setup on mine.
