Now, the question is, should I stick with the 335's?. . .Or should I try the 345 BFG competition Drag radials? :coolman:
Since no one said it, I say try the 345s next! I would like to see how they fit. ;-)

Thats not too bad, I expected them to be more. Have any idea what the 18x11 wheel weighs with the 335/30 mounted on it? How is the launch with those monsters?
dataangel, it seems to me that an 18" AFS wheel with 27 mm offset and an 8 mm spacer places the tire centerline in the same position. Since the AFS wheel is 10.5 inch wide instead of 11", the tire sidewall would be pulled in slightly more towards the wheel centreline resulting in maybe 1 or 2 more mm of clearance to the bolt.

For the money, its going to be hard to find a better performing rim. As for the grip, if it wouldn't rain everyday I will be able to let you know! But I dont expect them to launch awsome because they are 18's with a very thin sidewall. If I was just going for drag than I would have gotten 17'' DR with a 40-45 sidewall and lowered the psi for the track. But for the street, I think these tires will be pretty good.
About the weight with the tire on, I have not checked yet. But I think of it this way: When I turn on the speedchannel and I see actual race cars using CCW rims, I know they must be good. Most of the 9sec 1/4 street supras and vipers use CCW's, so I figured if these rims are strong enough and light enough for professional race teams and 9sec street cars, then they are the rims I want.

I would say that last pic is a keeper too. I love the way your car squats with all that tire under it. Very nice. Should be a poster or screen saver.
I was wondering how you arrived at the backspacing and offset for your custom rims? Did CCW figure it out....or you? What info did you have to provide to have them made?

I had a local performance shop do all the measuring. What happend was, I drove up to the shop one day and I noticed the owner had CCW's on his GT. So he pulled my car in the shop and took a whole bunch of measurments. Then he faxed over the specs to CCW. But I think CCW might have the specs for the cobras now. Just send CCW an email and tell them what sizes you want and see what they recommend. They will even put the recommend tires on the rims before you get them so when you get them they are all high speed balanced and set up perfect for road racing. They also can do drag racing too, they have 17's and the little skinnies up front (16x4 I believe)
About how much does it cost for a set of CCW's exactly like yours. I love them and really close to getting some.
My Vette is tubbed(a 2400) job and tons of labor,and I might add we can tub a Vette better than all I've seen.So I went from 295 being my max to Pilot sports 35/30/18 still cant get traction at 5Lbs. boost let alone 1Bar+ but a neccessetty on my car.If I could fit 4 sizes larger and they made them I would install.

the last pic of your ride kev is my new wallpaper!
I was planning to buy those rims but decided I can get my money's worth on the stock tires and in the meantime keep my eye out on new wheel styles. Anyways I get 1099ed and its nearing that time of the year so I gotta chill on the mods till next year or If I get a big project come up
Take it easy

Me too. In fact, I just hung up with Chip at CCW and placed my order.
How well versed in the '03 is CCW at this point? Did you have to give him any offsets or anything?
