CashmereLS May 7th, 2008, 08:20 AM I'm looking into having some custom wheels built by CCW, before they can go forward they need the specifications of the rear brakes to fit the rear wheels.
The car is '05 LS8 Sport.
I searched all last night for this info and didn't get very far...
Anyone?
In addition, the wheels are from www.ccwheel.com
I can't choose between the following, they're all too damn nice...

JWerner2 May 7th, 2008, 08:35 AM I cant help you with the dimensions but the second set that you linked to looks like they would work well on the LS.
The entire Modular series they have is very cool. I'm not a big fan of the rest, it just seems like there is not enough wheel for a car like the LS.
You should e-mail them and ask them the best way to measure out the dimensions yourself. I'm sure they would know.
06LSMero May 7th, 2008, 09:18 AM CCW's are probabaly the nicest wheels ive seen, when i saw the deep dish mesh wheels on 03 cobra's made me wet myself
CashmereLS May 7th, 2008, 10:08 AM More than likely i'm going to pop off a rear wheel a measure.
The main thing I appreciate from their wheels is that they are simple, the LS is a sleek simple and classy chassis. So wheels with rivets (especially fake) and ridge's and all that other non-sense just take away from the cars' appeal, IMO.
I want to go the fattest I can out back... maybe +45/+50 @ 9.5".
The car is at stock height now but i'll eventually purchase the Eibach's.
06LSMero May 7th, 2008, 10:14 AM I would say go 8.5 in the front and 10's in the back for the real sick stance. What size are you doing ? 18's 19's 20's ?
camthman May 7th, 2008, 10:25 AM man.... you must be droppin a few bills.
CashmereLS May 7th, 2008, 10:41 AM 18"
The sets start at $2600, it's worth one of a kind/custom. I'm getting rid of my s14 (don't want to, but time to move on...) so that will help pay for them.
camthman May 7th, 2008, 01:25 PM gotcha. I love S14's.
KD00LS May 7th, 2008, 01:35 PM CCW's are dirty. I like the 505a and the 500's. Do 19's at least.
CashmereLS May 7th, 2008, 01:41 PM gotcha. I love S14's.
Sell it to ya cheap my man! :D
HyeLifeLS May 7th, 2008, 04:42 PM Very nice wheels. Whatever size you go do 8.5 or 8 front with 45-50 offset and rear 9.5 with 50 offset and you won't have any rubbing problems. You probably won't get too much lip at the back but you can still use a 275 or 285 rubber.
exceptionaLS May 7th, 2008, 05:20 PM No 18s! unless you drop it. Its too small for the amount of money. 20's or bigger definitally if you are doing custom wheels-or any wheels in my opinion. 18's just dont get the job done unless you drop it.
NYC LS8 May 7th, 2008, 06:42 PM The second set is friggin' sweet!!
CashmereLS May 7th, 2008, 08:24 PM We'll see, me and the dude are tweaking some things...
I want 18's, my car will be lowered soon. Proof that 18's are dope enough, the signature above this post. That thing is looking GOOD, NYCLS8.
Never been a big fan of more than 18" unless they're real clean, like torqe thrust/bullit style... cause most out there are questionable!
NateRW21 May 7th, 2008, 09:30 PM I REALLY like the first three. I am leaning ever so slightly to the first set. But yeah... the first three are all very very nice wheels and will look perfect on the LS; as if they were made for it!
