It's more about the accuracy of the odometer than anything else. Warranty, service schedule, etc. are based on miles driven. That's why I'm going to get mine recalibrated when I get my wheels.

Since you didn't post a clear shot showing the gap at the top I'm guessing it looks pretty bad. What's the ground clearance now?

Are the wheels on the camaro the same width front and rear ?
If so did you try to put the 275's on the front and then the 305's on the back ?
I was thinking of trying it that way. Maybe you could test it out for us.
What do you think

It does seem a bit much but I like a little roll in the side wall... It looks more traditional to me...

And I've bumped my fair share of wheels with low profile tires...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the stock wheels 9 inches wide in the back?
