325/45/18's fit with a little room to spare - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am happy to say the least, I was worried about the tire sticking out and it stayed in pretty tight! I wanted to put as big a tire as I could out back without modifying anything and all look good. THEY ARE ON TSW 9.5 INCH WIDE

I will post pics once the car in completely on the ground. (It is getting new supercharger put together right now). Should be done by Sunday.

THESE ARE THE HOOSIER DR2'S

Bad ass! That just settled my next DR setup! Why 3 DRs in your pic and why the tread difference?

Trob85 · 05-01-2015, 07:31 AM

I'm curious to see them on the car looking at the price they're a ton less than Mickey Thompson. Also wanting to see how they perform.

Three tires because the old style was given to me by Hoosier to test fit. The DR2 is the new tread pattern that they are running now! The staggered dash is the new look! The 2 grooved look is the old look.

I had deep conversation with my contact at Hoosier and he thinks they are the best direct fit I will be able to get for the 5th Gen.

Those look good! They look huge for an 18.

Birddogg · 05-06-2015, 08:52 PM

I got the rear wheels on but the car is still on jack stands up front. Soon as my harmonic damper install tool comes it I will be putting it back on all fours.

The rears are flush with the rear quarter at the moment! I hope they stay there once on the ground! I hope to have pictures up by this coming weekend. The super charger install has been much longer than I thought it would be.

Birddogg · 05-27-2015, 05:46 PM

Here is the current pictures that I took of the car before taking it in for paint and ground effects. I really like how they fill the opening!

Birddogg · 08-13-2015, 09:58 AM

THESE TIRES ARE WHAT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY (QUALITY) I HAVE RAN ET STREETS AND NITTO'S AND M&H IN THE PAST. THESE TIRES HOOK UP GOOD AND I AM MAKIING A LITTLE OVER 800 TO THE TIRE.

THE PRICE ON THESE IS PRICED VERY WELL COMPAIRED TO OTHER TIRES.

I will try them out look like tight fit

Birddogg · 08-21-2015, 10:02 PM

Just wanted to post a couple of pics of these on the car!

Synergy1911 · 08-21-2015, 10:39 PM

I really like the two tone paint. Looks sharp!

760bowtie · 08-22-2015, 10:44 PM

Is it safe to say these won't fit on a lowered car?

Birddogg · 08-25-2015, 07:06 PM

Well thank you! It actually has three colors on it! Too bad I am selling this thing to start a new project!

It has 2 colors that are close that it is hard to notice it.
