Looking for wheels and tires
Hey guys, hope that you are doing well and your camaros too.
I have a 2010 camaro SS converted to 418 cubic inches and supercharged. I got almost about 750 hp. So the factory tires of course are not holding it. Do you guys have any suggestions for good tires and wheels that can help to hold and control this much of HP ? Thanks a lot.

Shouldn't the ZL1 stock tires and black rims hold it well?

They are not good enough for this high HP.

You need a Toyo Proxes R888. They make that tire in a 315-30-20 which you can do on a 20x11 and a 285-35-20 which you can do on a 20x10 on the front.
The R888 is as soft of a street legal tire as you can get. This will give you the best hook possible to put all that horsepower down to the ground. You can even call us and we can put a tire and wheel package together for you. We have also built a ton of these cars as project cars since they have come out. |

Forgestars would be a really nice option. Very lightweight, wont break the bank, very strong (rotary forged), and lots of customizable options like widths, offsets and colors! Here's a set we recently did:
19x10 Square - Gunmetal finish - Wrapped in 285 Michelins! |

Seeing as how his stock wheels are forged, I don't see forgelines being an upgraded

I think 20x11's would be a better option for all that hp. That's what I'm doing and I'm nearly stock...

I'm looking at either Micky Thompson ET street radial II or the Nitto nt555r as my summer daily use tires. Or any other better brands that you guys recommend.

The 05r's are probably a good option. I went with the 05's as my tires are on year arround so I need SOME tread....Lol
