Default Installed 285/30/18 and 245/35/18's today (thanks for the advice!)

Based on the advice of several Rennlisters including OmniGLHS and DanR with the Mobil One car I installed the above referenced sizes on my CCW's and the fit is perfect. I had already fitted the 285's in the back with race rubber though not the 245's on the front.

They fit perfect! And look awesome!! (Hankook's..primarily for price and yet the reviews seem good too).

I keep getting comments from people at work that it looks like a drag car from the back

Also the folks at work are just now acting curious and asking for a ride (I work at a large Cadillac dealership). Of course the fact that a technician with a 2010 Camaro SS couldn't come around me from a thrid gear roll kinda peaked their curiosity too

No I'm not gonna try running our CTS-V.

The guys at the tire shop really liked it and kept commenting how clean it is.

Can't really comment much on the ride though it seems reasonable (only 17 miles on em' so far!). I did grab a couple corners and it did what it's supposed to do and most important no rubbing!

thanks all...man i am SO glad to have these. Transformed the car!

The wheels are 18x10 and 18x9 CCW Classics.

Since I can't run center caps with these I painted the rusty looking hubs on the rear and the the dust cap on the drivers side...just put a new (used) one on the passneger side today and will paint it.

Good Taste! Looks just right, semi-evil and modern. Well done!
