CCW SP500 Wheels



I am looking at having some CCW wheels made for a 1993 Touring. I am just curious if anyone has these wheels on their car? I did not find them when I did a search. I am curious about the following:

Wheel size
Offset
Tire size
Suspension setup

I am currently setting on a stock suspension. My first thoughts:
18x9 w/ 245/40 tires, but not sure on offset
18x10 w/ 275/35 tires, but not sure on offset

From my searches, these should fit without modification to the wheel wells. I would appreciate any information that you might have.

Those wheels are popular with the Supra community. I think most FD owners steer clear because they are relatively heavy compared to other CCW/forged wheels. For those size wheels, I would go with 255/35/18 and 285/30/18 as they are the widest and closest to the stock FD wheel size of 24.86". 265/35s will fit on a 9" wheel in the front as long as you have a higher offset (mine were +40).

I like to use this tire height chart for reference:

My buddy has them on his Viper, and I have always been a huge fan of them. They custom make them to whatever spec you want so the offset will be high. John at CCW recommended 255/35 and 275/30 on the rear. I do not want to have to roll the fenders or do any heavy modifications for the wheels to fit. I would be concerned about the 285 rubbing in the rear.
