hey guys ive been looking for a new set of rims, so i came across some ccw LM20'S..very nice. anywhoo i just talked to a saleman there and he said i could go as wide a 9.5 on a 17 inch rim with spacers. thats without having wider fenders in the front and rear and will clear the brake calipers. does anyone know if this is correct?

 

I don't see why you would have a problem with 9.5 specially if their sales guy is telling u. There are a few people on here with CCWs with a bigger offset and minor fender rolling.

 

really? wow..i really had my heart set on 17x10's but wasnt sure if that was too extreme..

 

If I were you, I would choose an offset so that there would be no need for spacers!

 

the ccw's need spacers in the front to clear the brakes

 

so is fitting 17x10's in the rear possible? of course with some cutting and fender rolling? i would like to have 17x9.5 in front and 10's in the rear..

 

Theres a guy that posted some pics of his car with ccws, 18x10 +32 front and rear and I dont believe he was running spacers, I would have to go back and find that thread to know for sure though. It was a black evo 9 in what looked like the ccw warehouse with polished ccws.

Found the thread...
CCW LM20
18x10 +32mm (2.5" Front Lip, 3" Rear Lip)
245/40R18 Kumho Ecsta XS
BC Racing coilovers
Fenders rolled

 

I don't know about the CCW but I'm currently running 17x9.5 +35 with 15mm spacers in the front and I have no problems with rubbing at all on stock fenders.

 

The CCW team know what they're doing. They've made plenty of evo applications and have tons of #s in their database

 

How does he have different dish on the same offset? Because hes likely running spacers to make it effectively +32! lol

 

That person is not running spacers.

CCW offers different pad sizes, that's why he can run +32 all around without spacers. If he was running spacers, the dish would be the same and the offsets would be different.

 

they're called wheels not "rims"

 

Pad thicknesses are different. You can make a 18x10 with say a 1" pad and use a 7.5 inner and a 2.5 outter (lip) and have a +32 offset. Due to the rear not needing as much caliper clearance you can use a shorter pad moving the center of the wheel closer to the caliper. Say you move the center in a .5" by using a .5" pad you can then us a 7" inner and a 3" outter (lip) and still be at a +32 offset. The setups not running spacers at all! Two different pad thicknesses; only downside is you can't rotate them.

 

Dan - can I start whoring out pics?

 

Lol.
Let CCW show you the way, they know exactly what they are doing. Be prepared to throw down some $$$.
