CCW offsets??
Ok, here's more ammo for the haters. I am back telling you all about my life and want to know if anyone has info to help with some CCW SP500 rims. I emailed them (based on many of your recommendations) for info and was quite happy with the response by John. The thing is that I want to get 18X9.5 fronts to run 275/35s on and 18X10.5 rears to run 295/30s on. Does anyone have experience with offsets in that range of width? I don't think so, but I know a few of you have run 10 inch rears with 295s. I also know that they are rubbing a bit, so I was hoping that a collective database could help me figure out an offset that will work. Some of your 10 inch rims rub on the inside and some on the outside. i figure split the difference and i may luck out?
HELP!!! Or I will never buy rims!!

not ccw's but i'm running 19x10 et40 with 285/30's lowered 1" and i'm willing to bet i could run 295's with no problem. i'll let you know as soon as i ruin this set of perfectly good tires since my plan is to give them a shot.

Is it closer to rub on the inside or outside?

My guess is with a 40 offset you gonna be closer on the inside than outside...
The interesting thing though is the angle of the side wall ... for example 285 9.5x19's with 31 offsett juuust catch the fender on max compression ... something which a minor fender roll will cure easily ... 275 have a shallower angle and tuck under the fender neatly no problem - with a 10" rim you will also have a steep angle so my guess is a 38 offset and you'r set ... but its gonna be squeezy regardless of rim ...

Jangy, this info might help you. I have a set of CCW that I got from vrus. The rears had 295s on the 19 X 10 inchers. I experienced rubbing on the outside of the tire. I don't know the offset but Victor might.
There is another guy in my area that liked my set up, so he put the exact same combo on his 2004 E55. He is experiencing rubbing on the inside of the tire. He bought his wheels direct from CCW.
This rubbing takes place at stock height. I don't think there will be room for a 10.5 inch wheel but I think you could delicately balance in the 10 inch with a 295. It still may rub at times under load. I now run 285s with the car lowered and no problems ever.

Can you please get me the offset on yours?? I would love to know how far IN I can go, and it sounds like yours is just a tad too far. Perhaps a few mm less than yours will work?

Jangy bro, you remember this thread from August? We PM'd each other about CCW offsets & rubbing back then.

whatever you do at CCW with John, rest assured he will take care of you. did you ask him about the proper offsets???
i have a set of street classics, 18x12rear and 18x10 in front on my vette... most rims in that size need some sort of tubbing, but the offset was perfectly made for mine such that no tubbing was needed! i am a happy camper with CCW, they have top quality products!

I do remeber, and I thank you for your help. I just wanted to be positive, since it looks like CCW is becoming a very viable option.
Sorry for the redundancy. I'm just making sure.

I haven't been too happy with my recent Pirellis. i used to love them but no more. The Bridgestone is a good option. I also like the Yokos.

My CCW 505A's are finished and at the painters now. When discussing tires with John he recommends the Bridgestones. (Something about sidewall strength)

The E55 is heavy, so most recommend only getting high load tires. It all has to do with how you use em. If you are going to put lots of hot miles on at once, then you want heavy load, or the tires will blister fast. If all you do is bursts of load then regular load heat up faster.
