I saw a thread about the SS 295 thread/overall width. The michelin specs show almost the same for 295 and 315 except for height and recommended rim width.

Thinking of 285/35 or 295/35 for front 20x10.

295/35 or 315/35 for rear 20x11.5.

I need to gauge overal width to verify inside fender shroud clearance for rears since I have 1" drop.

Thoughts?

Maybe next season, I'll look at a dedicated squared setup with r compounds with 19" wheels.

I run 275,295/35/20 on a 10" front and 11" rear and the fit is perfect. I wouldn't want to go any wider than that. The 295 will still fit on the 11.5 and be stretched SLIGHTLY which will help handling.

What size would you reccomend for the rear of a stock wheeled SS? I don't see a stock size listed?

Yes they are great. I have them on my Z06. I'm running 285/345 front/rear.

Stock Crapyears couldn't hook up on the street in 70 deg on a sunny afternoon.
PSS hooks up in 60 deg on a damp morning with no problem.

Plus they look great. Normally Michelin makes tires that look narrower (PS2). PSS is not like that.

Love them.
