Hi Guys,

Since I started putting more hp on my 1LT (non RS), I've been facing a problem with the rear stock 19" wheel/stock tires.

They spin and burn a lot, hindering the take off speed.

Now I'm not really experienced in tires or wheels and hope that anybody around can help me with suggestions on the best options avilable for a clean take off but street legal at the same time.

Well now is your chance to kill two birds with one stone and enhance your looks as well as traction. We can put you in a light weight 20" wheel with a 11" width and a 315 width tire. This will increase your traction due to more rubber on the road. I can make some wheel and tire suggestions if this sounds like a good option for you.

Wider tires will help you out alot. Also you might wanna start looking into some suspension mods to keep the power down to the pavement, trailing arms, bushings, etc.

Cyber Gray, since you have a LT, as do I, you are limited as to what you can really put to the ground, without going totally hog wild. a really nice option for you would be to get a set of the STOCK 20's which will give you PLEANTY of traction, won't cost you a "arm and a leg" and there are LOT of them available here in our site or on eBay....you can go this route and have a SECOND set of wheels and tires from about $800 to $1200. There are plenty of guys that are using their stock wheels and tires (20's) and they have V8's.

LOL, it's the Vossen CV1 in 22":

WOW !!

I always say that the CAMARO is an attraction on its own, and no matter how you play around with the wheels, its doesnt really makes a difference.

BUT after seeing the CV1, honestly I have to say that Im wrong !!

The rear deep wheels are awsome. I guess that the SS is not lowered.

How much is the full setup?
