SS w/ ZL1 rims either BMR 1.4" or PFADT 1.25" - Pics please!

Could a few members post pics of both. I can't decide lol

I have a SS and want to do the ZL1 replica 20x10f & 20x11r 315 tires in the rear.

Please let me know if I have any rubbing issues.


Thanks

ZL wheels are the same as 1LE arent they? If so, check out that thread. 1LE models lowered. Some people have complained of rubbing with 315 in the rear, while others have not. It is probably very close either way and may depend upon how much the springs settle or how the car sits from the factory.

I wouldn't go any lower than 1.25. Keep in mind the 1LE/ZL1 wheels and tires are shorter than the stock Pirellis, plus if you add long tube headers you're pretty close to the ground.

Right now I have 255/45 20 front and 315/35 20 rear tires. I ordered a full exhaust which will have long tube headers.

So your saying the wheel gap will be barely their with a 1.25" drop?

I think I will need to swap out the front tires with 275/40 for the 10" ZL1 replica rims.

I just don't want to regret it having to much of a wheel gap...?

Also if you're running the 10" wheels up front you should run 285/35's... our heavy cars need all the tire they can get up front.
