Im trying to find out if anyone has gone with matching wheel sizes on the 2010 or 2011 ss? Like a 20x9 on all four corners,I think that would give it a real aggressive look ,plus fill the front wheelwell better,so im trying to see whats the largest 20 inch tire you can put on the front without fear of tires rubbing on inner fenders.Plus the added bonus of being able to rotate the tires properly. thanx for any help on this subject...

Widest front tire that will fit, without sticking out, is a 275 wide tire. If you go with a coil-over suspension system, this reduces the spring perch size and you can fit a 295 before they poke out up front.

On the rear, we can fit a 315 tire easily. So, I can't see it being any better looking to run a narrower tire on the rear. Rotating the tires is for slow passenger cars on hard tires, not a performance car. The soft performance tires we use on these cars won't last long enough to rotate more than maybe once. They go 12-15k miles on average, for Z-rated tires. Unless you drive like Ms Daisy

Nineball,

I have Pedders XA Coilovers on my Camaro, so that means I can run 295 tires up front?

Nine Ball · 07-27-2010, 08:49 AM

Yes, you should be able to with those.

Thanks that's good to know. So I will go 20" 295 front/315 rear.

Holy crap, that's a lot of miles already. Nice job on the tire mileage.

I know people have run the same rim size on all four corners. They have put rear rims all the way around.
