Biggest square setup

[lscamaro]

Can someone tell me what's the biggest square setup you can run on the car that you're still able to rotate? Can it be done on any aftermarket wheels or will I need a wheel I can pick offsets on?

[SUX2BU]

Biggest as in like 24s? Or widest?

I'm running 18x10 w/ 285/40 18 all the way around. Pedders has 19x10.5 w/ 305/30 19 all the way around, but I think they run different offsets front to rear and and you have to have $$$ coilovers for extra clearance up front.

Sorry about that, definitely meant widest. I'm also looking for that in a 20" wheel. I know pedders uses a 19" forgeline but yes they use different offsets to make them fit so you can't just rotate them freely. I'm ideally looking for a "looks" wheel set without losing too much performance. I was going to go with a staggered setup but would like a square setup for handling and tire life. So I'd like to fit the largest tire I can

Your best bet world be a TSW Nurburgring 20x10 35mm offset with a 275/40 or 285/35 al the way around. The Nurburgrings are light weight, good quality and affordable.

I have to agree with this. The 285/35 would most likely be the biggest but a 275/40 isn't bad and you can save a little bit of money on tires. I plan on doing 275/40 all around.

10"s on all four corners with the same offset with 285's on all four is about it. I can do a larger tire on the rear, but the offset on the rear wont be the same, so you wont be able to run the same offset.

If you're comfortable with spacers, then I would say what we can do is go with a higher offset on all four, then have you run spacers on the front so we don't have clearance issues to the suspension, which will allow you to run a larger 305 on the back and 285's on the front. You can indeed fit 305's on all four corners if you're willing to dial in camber and of course if you have the right suspension to do so, but you're talking about a good amount of time, work, energy and money.

Will any wheel in a 20x10 +35 work? I don't really like the nurburgrings too much. What happens if I go with Megan coilovers? Can I fit a slightly bigger tire?

Eh, don't really care about saving money on tires. If I can rotate them, they'll last me awhile since I don't drive crazy or burnout too much. Plus I'd like something bigger than a 275. Ideally I'd like a 295 but a 285 might be fine. I'm going to see if I can find pics of a 285.

Wheels must also clear the brakes. The face as well. Depends on the design of the wheel.

1LE's have 285/35-20s all the way around, and it is an absolutely bad ass, aggressive look. Wheels are 20x10 front, 20x11 rear (ZL1 wheels). As was mentioned, you could go 20x10 front and rear, and run a spacer in the front. I believe it would be 1/2", but I don't know for sure. Then you would also want to run special lug nuts, I believe they're called ET nuts, that grab a couple of extra threads on the stud.

Yes, any 20x10 35mm should work. I know some coilovers give you more clearance and some give you less. The BC racing and Peddars give you more, PFADT goive you less. I don't know about the Megan ones.

With the right coilovers and camber settings you should be able to get a 295/35 20 to fit.

On a 20 x 10 wheel, you don't need spacers if the offset is correct...a 285/35-20 is the safest tire to run on all 4 corners. I know Jordan from JDP runs a 295/35-20 on the front of his Camaro, but it also had to do a little self clearancing if I remember correctly when I talked to him about it....

Make sure the wheel spokes won't hit the caliper face...

The critical fitment is the front of the vehicle. Any combo that you can make work on the front, will also bolt onto the rear. I've done 10.0 with 295 front and rear, but they do stick out a bit. 285 is the widest I'd go up front without them sticking out too much. Factory 1LE and ZL1 run the 285 front tire on 10.0 wheels (+25 offset)
