305's at all 4 corners??

Hello all,

I have a 2013 1le Camaro. Currently up front I have 285/35/20 tires and 305/35/20 tires out back. I go through tires like its my job.... What I'm wondering is, can I fit 305's up front as well???

Set I'm buying doesn't come in a 285/35/20. And I'm tired of the stretched look. I drive a Camaro not a Honda

Front rim is 20x10? And 285's look like there stretched? I just ordered some rims and thats what they recommended running on the front was 285...maybe a 295

And the stretched tire isn't just for hondas and drifters any more...your big bad lifted duramax's are all over it too...

Not my duramax, NOT EVER!!! I hate the so-cal stretched mud tire crap.

305s all around are tops for handling and guys in my group have great success in auto x. Need 20x10.5 rims and not sure they will clear the front springs and shocks without a good deal of offset. I run 285s on 20x10s, slightly stretched, not much though, and better for handling. Thats if that is a need of course. In handling its a close toss up over which is better as to times, usually the driver is the difference

No problem. Check with who you are getting rims from on offset. Most of us have pedders coilovers with 10mm extra clearance up front. With those, 20x10.5 rims and about a 23mm offset in front seems to work, rear wheel its 35 offset. We can do more neg. Camber still,as well, but the guys running this combo says its tight on clearances . Again not sure with stock shocks what is the max you can use is. They had to use 23 offset with the 1le 20x10 front wheels so 20x10.5s may not work

I'll definitely have to do some further research. You've been a great help, thanks again!

I never said you were... i was pointing out that its not just for hondas as you stated in your original post..so relax guy...

Its actually called cen-cal style...it started in the fields of the central valley of California of all places...but yeah its stupid and waste of a 60k truck in my eyes....I'll stick with my steel 17" and 37"
