D2M, what is your best guess as to how your tires will wear at these castor/cambers? I like the idea, when I go 325 width I may repeat this. Did you go with the new Moreno adjustable castor camber plates that didn't any height?
I know JusticePete has customers running 325 width Michelin Pilot Super Sports..I don't know if he's got them running the 11.5" rims up front. Its would be interesting to hear his take on his method if they are. Keep me posted as I have a year to year and half before I'm dealing with new tires to replace the Trofeo's. I REALLY like the idea of having a fully rotatable tire setup. I'm guessing you bought a set of rear rims to do this (wasn't that the set that came up recently?) Hopefully Chevy will get their act together and make sure those of us that need a pair of rear rims to do this are supplied.

Do you have a shifter? My throws look a lot longer than yours.

These front engine RWD muscle cars love a square tire setup. I have used similar setups in the past on previous cars and never looked back. At the end I was always left with 4 perfectly evenly worn tires with both track and street use. On my Z/28 the rears seem to wear very evenly but at about twice the wear rate compared to the fronts which wear the inside edges on the street and the outside edges on track. I actually purchased a full set of new wheels / tires from Gen5DIY last year. Now I have 4 extra front wheels.. Last edited by D2M; 06-07-2017 at 11:18 AM. |

I do have a aftermarket shifter. I had no issues with the OEM shifter but one, it was too low in the console for me, I prefer a taller shifter. I purchased a Barton that is height adjustable, however the shifts were way too short so I modified by shortening the length below the pivot point to increase the throw a bit. The throw is only about %15 shorter and the shifter is about 1.5" taller, Perfect!!!
