If lowered, the e-brake line may rub the inside hoop of the rim for wide rear rims. Need to tie the line back. No rubbing with CCW 20x11.5 rims with Nitto Invo 315/35. Car is lowered ~1". I believe Z-Madness is running 315 Invos on his Forgelines, too.

Was running -0.5* rear camber, but now at 0.0* camber. No tire rubs with both alignement settings.

Yup, I have 20x11.5's with 315 and also Pfadt drop springs and absolutely no issues. Wish I could put 315's on the front.

Z Madness · 08-30-2011, 12:22 AM

Nitto INVO's are a good street tire, not very noisy, not that expensive and usually well stocked. Check out discounttiredirect.com or tire buyer.com.

Taz, let me know if you would like to buy slightly used (less than 1000 miles) INVO's. I've been wanting to switch to NT05's but need to get rid of these.

I'd even be willing to sell the Forgelines if anyone interested. Local only. Let me know.

I used to live in Ewa Beach, Hawaii on the island of Oahu when I was a child growing up. I now live in Jacksonville FL. When I get close to retiring I'm going to permanently live in Hawaii and take my family and the Camaro with me.

Thanks everyone for the info on the 315 widths. My plan was to crack my Vossens and put wider inner barrel to accept 12 inch wheels on the back, but looks like 11.5 is about it without mini tubbing my rear. If I did mini-tub also wasnt sure if I wanted to go straight axle or keep the independent suspension. Cost wise, alot cheaper to go with 315 20x11.5 vs tubbing the car for the extra .5 inches. Not willing to address going with spacers and move the back wheel to the front and then stretching the stock back wheels to 20x11.5. (Actually not sure if anyone does that kind of work on island)

When I installed my current custom Vossen Forged 3 piece wheel, I also had tire rub (actually the inner rubber valve) that was hitting the e-brake. Ended up having to zip tie the e-brake away from the wheel.

Anyways, just checking around during my doctors appointment and found a wheel and tire shop that can crack open a 3 piece forged rims by Resturant Row. Wished I knew this 6 months ago when I hit a curb and had to replace my chromed lip. Couldnt locate anyone on island and had to send the whole wheel to Florida (Vossen shop) to have them crack it open and replace the lip.

Still have some wear left on the tires, so I have this on hold until time to replace the tires. Not sure if I am going with Pirelli Tires
or Nitto's yet. I know this place does have Pirelli so have that option.

Thanks for all the info. Cant wait to put some extra rubber on the back!

Dont know anyplace that carries Pirelli or Nitto's "In Stock". A couple of places can order them for you. When I had to replace my Pirelli Tires, I ordered them online from TireRack.com and had them deliver them directly to Goodyear on Wailiae Ave. Took 2-4 days for delievery and they called me when they got them from UPS to set up a time for install.

Thanks,
I like the NT05's, but not sure how good for everyday use, especially in the rain. I'll let you know if I do decide on INVO's instead of Pirelli Tires.

Z Madness · 08-30-2011, 07:37 PM

The NT05's would probably not be a good everyday tire as it will wear rather quickly. No problem, tires are not getting any miles on them now. I gotta get the car out more! lol.

taz · 09-03-2011, 02:27 PM

Just wondering if anyone tried any other tires besides Perrellis or Nittos on thier 5th gen? Like Goodyear or Michelin Performance tires? Just wondering how they ride.

Anyways, looks like a busy weekend. Today (sat) car show at Aikahi this evening and an island cruise on sunday.

Island Cruise info:
Meet: Starbucks Pearl City at 9am on Sunday
1st Stop: Sandy Beach
