Lowering my car on a squared set up?
Hey guys, looking for a little insight on lowering my car. I recently installed a front splitter and side skirts. After the install, it really exposed how high my car is actually sitting and now I'm considering a 1.25 - 1.50 inch drop. The part im worried about is my current wheel set up and possible rubbing if I lower the car.
I currently have a set of four 20x10 +35 ZL1 replicas and a full set of 275/40/20 tires all the way around. Went with a squared set up so I could properly rotate my tires. Do you guys think I will run into any issues lowering my car 1.25 or even 1.50 inches with my current setup? If anyone has a similar wheel set up and has experience lowering your 5th Gen please share |

I have BMR 1.4 springs with OEM wheels on my 1le. 295 tires up front and 315 in the rears. I think you'll be fine.
Just watch out for everything on the road. Speed bumps suck, and steep inclines. You'll learn how to drive all over again.

Running 305 and 325 19’s on 1” inch springs had to use small spacers.

Running a 10 inch on front with a 35 offset might be risky, Normal offset would be 23. You could run a small spacer to bump the wheels out abit. I run 20x10 with 23 offset lowered 1.25 with a 295 tire with no issues at all!

I have the OEM ZL1 rims on my Camaro and I am not running a square setup. However when I lowered my car I went with this set up... No rubbing anywhere for the past 4 years.

The only caster/camber plate I didn't replace as of yet for my 1.5" drop was the rear drivers side. The gas tank needed to be dropped in order to do so. As of now the alignment specs are within the DSE specs with my drop kit. Otherwise, everything is going as it should and no uneven wear on the tires since. I do not even have the encentric bushings for the rear that you mentioned. My rear is aligned perfectly fine hmmm?

That's a good looking Camaro you have there and those are good looking rims. I wanted to go with a light brushed bronze look and still haven't found anything I like as of yet. If I can find a deep concave like your setup but in brushed bronze that would be awesome. Would love to try something different too since everyone seems to go for the ZL1 rims these days.
