Looking at CCW wheels
I think I'm going to buy these:
CCW style SP20
18x10 front (2" lip)
19x11.5 rears (3"lip)
Any suggestions on tire sizes? I would like to go with at least a 335/30 for the rears, if they make them? If they do, what brand do you guys (girls) suggest? Won't track the car, even after I put a blower on her. Oh yeah,
ECS here I come
If anyone is running this style of rims and has a pic, please feel free to post them!

Good choice. I'd just call CCW and ask them for the right setup, including the tires. They'll come mounted already, which will protect them in shipping and keep you from having some goon at the tire shop mess them up.

Yes, I did see that on their site. I have Vredestein tires now. Although they are an excellent tire, they don't come in the sizes I am looking for (bummer). Have any recommendations on which tire to go for? Also, not sure which way to go on the rims: Gloss black w/chrome lip or all chrome

Ok. I've been looking at tires. seems that there are not to many choices out there. So far I found Nitto NT05 that come in 335/30/19 and for the front either : 275 or 265/35/18
Then you have a size I really like (BUT WILL IT FIT!) Nitto; INVO sizes 345/35 19 rear
275/35/18 front
Michelin PS2 comes in both combos as the above Nitto INVOS as also their PS2 ZP (run flats)
Need help here people!
will the 345 fit without any mod?

I was going to recommend Nitto Invos as well. That's the tire I will be ordering with my CCW's this fall season.
I saw on one of the vendor sites somewhere that 335's will indeed fit in the rear, but on z06's you have to remove the rear brake ducts.
Can anyone else confirm this?

They don't make a 335/19 though

According to the site, no. But I'm getting into an area I'm really not to familiar with. I'm sure someone will jump in. What style are you going with?

Unless you're tubbed or have a wide body kit the 335 and 345's will not fit under your stock fenders and will stick out.
I have a wide body vette and 345 will just fit under without any modifications (more).
They definitely do not fit on a stock vette.

Any bigger will stick out or rub the inner tub when cornering.
