305s and 285s vs 285s all around? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had a '15 1SS/1LE, even though it was stock with the 285's on the 20x11 inch wheel for the rears, I never liked it, was too stretched for my liking.. I preferred the 305 for the rear.

Yea, to each their own. I always enjoy having a little bit of tire overhang on the wheel. Just in case you get into a tight spot, the tire takes the bump instead of the wheel. I like doing it just for a piece of mind.
Luckily, I've never had to test it out. JMHO.

I would go wider. I have Hankook Ventus 305s in the rear at 574WHP in a straight line on a Day over 85 degrees I can hook in first on a roll on. Once the temp drops it doesn't hook anymore. With them hot at the track I suspect they will hook better but it's on the brink. It is also scary putting down that much power cornering, just a bit too much throttle and when she lets go it lets go FAST.

I run the Ventus V12 EVO2's in a 285/325 on 10x19 and 11x19's on my 6th gen. They still break loose easily in 1st & 2nd without any mods. Not terribly impressed on that front.

Hudson, nice car.
I'm getting ready to buy new tires..Question, Do you think 315s would've cleared? Got a side pic to see the "stance" I'm assuming you're running stock suspension.

Thxs in advance!!

GearheadSS · 07-31-2019, 04:25 PM

I prefer 305s on the back simply because of how stretched the 285s look on the 11" wide wheels. I've always hated that stretched look.

Turbo_J89 · 07-31-2019, 05:22 PM

I've run 315R/275F, 305R/285F, and 285 on all 4. I would recommend 305R/285F for a spirited non-track car. It looks better than 285 on the rear.

I'd have to look at the exact tire I have I don't think its an V12. I'm at 574WHP and 520WTQ on a Whipple and on a hot day I have full traction in 1st with stock gearing on a roll on from 15mph, not a dig, and just a chirp into 2nd.

I'd be curious to know. The LT1 only makes about 400RWHP in the M6.

Hankook ventus R-s3 305s

HDRDTD · 08-01-2019, 05:45 PM

FYI, the ZL1's came with 285's on the front 10" rims, and 305's on the rear 11' rims.

I've been running 295/315's on the stock ZL1 rims for years now with no rubbing at all at stock ride height.

I also switched to Michelin Pilot Super Sport K2's as well.

you can fit 335/30 in the rear with factory ZL1/1LE 20x11 rear wheels
