Just 1/2" shallower? Really?! Well, I'd be damned! The lug pockets on the wheels pictured look "hellaDeep"!
Good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes!

I know, I was shocked when they emailed me. I should know a definitive depth by EOD Monday.

Update from CCW: hubs will be exactly 3” deep. Only crappy thing, front would be 3mm deeper than rear. Trying to figure out how to fix that. I know it’s not much but still...

To complicate things further, Cifdig’s post made me look into BC Forged and I really like their RS41 wheels, and $1,500 cheaper than the CCW’s.

My BC Forged RS40's. I like the classic 7 split spoke design.

Excuse the weird color edit. I had to mess with the colors to lighten the shadows in order to show the wheels better.

Very nice! And they are 19’s, even better!

What’s are the widths and offsets? Excellent fit.

Thanks. Yes, they’re 19’s. 9.5 ET32 Front and 10.5 ET47 Rear. I feel I gotta bring it back up a hair in the front... but, too lazy to pull the wheels back off. It’ll have to wait til Fall 😂

Awesome. Rears don't rub, how about fronts? Any side shots by chance? Wondering if they poke out at all?

Is rear dropped too or just front?

Sorry for all the questions, but you have a nice stance here.

The front rubs when I hit dips and bumps at 30+ mph... I should have gotten 265/30’s for the front but I already had these 275’s. (And I also like the meaty flush look). The rears do not rub at all with the 305/30’s
Sure the rear is lowered... I abandoned the SUV status last year 😅

Depending on what angle you look at the car, sure, they do poke out a bit. I will try to take a pic on the weekend if/when I remember (sorry, old dudeITIS)
Side shots from last fall (sorry, not the best pics)

Took a couple of shots today to show how much they "poke out". Not really much at all. Sorry about the gigantic pics. Lemme know if you need any other info. Cheers.
