WOW I find the car handles very well, smooth like butter, much better than my Mustang ever did.

Non the less, when I decide to upgrade my wheels I plan to put larger tires and wheels on both front and back, but to still have the size differentiation. I'd like to see pic's too !!

You can also do a tire rotation now!

I plan on getting the ADM Widened Wheel Package.. Basically you take your rear tires, move them to the front (with spacers) and get wider wheels for the back (305's) I believe. Very aggressive looking.. Check it out below !!

WHY would you do this?? the spacers that is......you don't need spacers to put the rears on the front.......there are quite a few of us running REARS ON THE FRONT and have no issues at all, a few are even lowered. Not to mention, SPACERS ARE BAD!!

Yes it will. The offset is different.

There was a thread where someone posted pics of their car with the OEM 275's on the front. I have searched, but been unsuccessful in finding it.

talltom · 05-22-2010, 11:05 PM

I'm thinking I might like to trade two rears for two fronts and use 245s all around. Has this been done?

bobby35ny · 05-22-2010, 11:53 PM

I remember reading something in the Camaro book. They were testing the car on the track and a phone call was made to GM or something and they went to the smaller fronts. Must have been a reason for it but they didnt say.

I know the car will go faster (straight line/1/4 mile) with smaller front wheels and tires.
When going from 245s (8'' wheel) to 275s (9'' wheel) up front, your 1/4 mile times will slow down.

The call was made on a road course during testing, I'm sure it had to be something with tracking or handling.
