Went to the CCW factory today to pick these bad boys up and upon coincidence drove by the GRM facility as well. Didn't have time to stop by though, but I do like the building and hte plethora of odd ball cars out in the parking lot.
The guys at CCW are pretty cool and happy to show us around the shop and how they do things. Fronts are 18x9.5 with Hankook RS-2s in 265/35/18 and rears are 18x11 with 315/30/18 RS-2s
That is a LOT of RS2... can you say GRIP?
"What he said", dirtybird! Looks great, almost like you're going to enter it in the Grand-Am's GT series or something.
lol after the cage and brakes i may be eligible. The cam might throw me off. Dad is gonna help me out tomorrow and start primering a few parts while I'm at work. I really hope to have this done before summer time. As far as to get it "running"....power steering pump is going to PSC to be rebuilt (Law Motorsports recommendation), new catch can, a new belt, and a pinion seal in the rear end.
Paint, lower control arms, brakes, and cage are to finish it.
LOVE the CCW's!!!
You're going to hate the RS2's though. Expect to replace them in ~1000 miles. That's why there's RS3 now (though I'd go Star Spec, RE11, or 615(K) in that order before the RS3').
weekend car, so 1000 might take a year or so, but the wheels/tires came as a package.
The wheels look good. And yep, their new place is about two blocks south of us.
Drool
wow, thats a crapload of tire and in all fairness the rs2 is a lot stickier than whats on most wheels that size (excluding the obvious drag radials). Its gonna be awesome.
T/A W/O wing=hot!
I would love to get an extra hatch and mold a "lip" wing on their but they are either expensive or in crappy shape for free lol. We'll see, the paint portion is on hold until we can find a legit paint supplier to mix us the right paint and not "f" us over. Said paint supplier said they can't find the paint code, when I went on my phone in their store and foudn it on the Standox website, they still mix us the wrong paint...
either way, sanded black plus those wheels equals hotness.
In reply to DirtyBird222:
I have the RS2's on my fire bird, in the stock 245 width and they are a good tire. my autocross times have been consistant and i have kept up with guys on azenis in my local street tire class. they were the only sticky summer tire i could find in that width for the stock 16" wheel. and those wheels you got are badass! you car is going to look and handle well!
That's a lotta rubber! Wheels suit the car to a tee.
Mount them and take more pics

Awesome wheels. Looking good! The lack of a wing is cool looking, I wonder how "reducing" the rear bumper would look....
i would love to put a v6 firebird bumper on but it's a t/a and i wanna keep the bumper. You can reduce it because there is a little safety feature behind there in case of a rear impact. Thanks for the compliments.
Suspension is taken care of. LGM lower control arms, LGM double adjustable panhard bar, sub frame connectors, koni single adjustable shocks, strano springs, and strano sway bars, plus the 4 point cage that's goin in.
I've contemplated a wing idea similar to this.
ahh hosting is down.
I do like that ducktail, just not how it goes down the sides and looks like a piece of plastic that's been glued on. If that were blended into the body, though....
Yes to ducktail, no to the sides of it the way they did. Make it hatch only or mold those things to the body.
What's the nose of yours look like? T/A bumper or Formula bumper? WS6 hood?
T/a front bumper, 1 of like 55 or so Superhawk hoods made by US Exotics.
oh and if anyone says the tires are backwards...i won't be driving anywhere anytime soon, nor are the wheels still on the car lol.

Does it mean I'm old if my favorite part of the duck tail was the 70s era font for the "Trans Am" decals?
