[mikepage0007]

ordered my set of cor 22x9 and 22x11...i would like to put 315/30/22 on rear ..instead of 315/25/22 .any input as to why i should not...really would like to get as soft as ride as possible..this camaro is also dropped 1 1/2in with full pedders suspension and coilovers..any little bit helps..any input from anyone running this setup on trie choices also helpful...looking at toyos... .thanks

Be sure to find the manufacturer specs on that particular tire, get the diameter. As long as your front and rear tires are within 0.5" of each other, it should work. No idea if you will have rubbing issues though, with that taller tire and a lowered car. Could be an expensive lesson.

If you wanted a soft as possible ride, you should have bought 20s

Nineball I beg to differ. With my D2's and pedders Xa it is very very very close to stock ride. My wife says it softer than stock.

Mikepage go with the 315/25 with the pedders Xa I have the front dropped all the way down and the rears about 1.5 and she rides nice.

Yes, you can make the car ride softer with the coil-overs, but it will still be that much softer with 20s. I recently put 20s back on my own car, had 22s, the ride quality is VERY different. So, I suppose you could go luxury plush with Pedders and 20s

your car has the perfect stance and wheel size imo...i tried hard to keep the 20 , but if you took them d2,s in 20,s in would not look near as good as the 22,s do, especially with your drop.. i have a razzi gf kit with 5 inches from spoiler to asphalt and 4 inches from rubber strip under spoiler to asphalt..don,t think i want to push my luck with any more drop.. other reason i was considering 315/30 was more tire choices...i can get toyo proxy for almost half of pirelli...and i am already running 30 in front , thought tire might look better if it matched ..got 3-4 weeks to iron out...thanks for imput , thats what i need..seddon, what are you running on front? i,m willing to substitute some ride for looks especially for 5k in rims, they gotta look the sh*t...

I thought you just put the 20's on for a photo shoot? Did you get rid of the 22's all together?

yea , we don,t have the potholes, instead we have these damn speed tables everywhere.. they are like 4-6 feet wide and almost 6 inches high in places ..not a pretty site catching these at any speed over 20mph...if i,m lucky to get the front over, i,m liable to catch the side skirts { 4 inch clearance} on the dip.....any lower and i know i would trash my skirts for sure...you can try to avoid potholes , but these speed tables are everywhere and can,t be avoided....i think there is a conspiracy against lowered cars as you can speed over these in any vehicle but a dropped car..

315/30R22 is not a valid size option from what I see / I usually recommend when going this big stay as close to the Original Tire Diameter as possible.

thanks for input guys..315/30-22 is 29.4" tall..thats only about 3/4in.taller than stock wheels{ 28.7}... yet if i go with 315/25/22 that is 28.2..almost a half inch shorter..so only diff between a 25 or 30 would be about 1/4 difference{ 1 tire is 3/4in. above stock height- 1 tire is 1/2in. below stock height} ..kind of like the diff between a new tire and a tire with 6k miles..seems really minute in diff..got 2 weeks left b4 i decide on tires...keep inputs coming ..i,m taking it all in..thanks again
