Michelin Pilot SS size issue

[Highland Ranger]

295s are not in stock - was going to order the 285s and 315s for back - - the 315s will fit the OEM rim (black spoke)?

ANd we confirmed no rubbing with OEM rims and all stock suspension?

I am running stock ZL1 wheels, stock suspension, stock alignment.
The 295 fronts rub either the top of the sidewall.
They are contacting either the edge of the fenders or the corners of the bumper fascia.
The driver side more than the passenger for some unknown reason...

Somethings not right...this may be a crazy request but if....your wheels are factory 1LE/ZL1 wheels with Camaro embossed on them....your wheels are the proper size and offset for the front....your ride height and front suspension is correct....

Have dealership check out your car because aside from being slightly wider these tires should not be rubbing.

I can't say I'd agree. Many Vette owners run Invo's. I have them on my '95 which is nearly just as heavy and more powerful than a stock ZL1 and I'm very happy with them. They cost a lot less too. In my opinion Michelin's are just overpriced for what you get.

I'm not the only one that likes these:

Note that I have rubbing - see pcitures here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...=420680&page=2

Did anyone try these with a 1" drop like someone else previously asked? Thanks

I run this setup with the PFADT 1.25' drop. Nobody should have any issues as long as they have an alignment done after they drop their car.

Be advised that there are 2 different MPSS in the 295 size.
I first had a set of the wider version.
The driver side (only...?) made deep contact, such that I replaced them with a set of the narrow 295s.
The narrower 295 makes minor contact on the driver sided only.
On the rear...the 315s make light contact when the car is loaded.

Is your ZL1 lowered?
