I'm curious what tread wear patterns others are seeing with 21" low profile tires what PSI you keep them at.

I have 28K on mine, even tread wear, should be ok for another 10K. I keep them around 34-35 PSI.

I DO NOT do burnouts with these expensive tires.

Hello, i'm the new owner of the green flash, bought it with 7500KM on it, damn near new. Will post pictures soon.

For now I had a question, does anyone know what the widest tires for the rear can be on the green flash edition? i know the rims are 21x9.5 but can this be upgraded to a wider rim, therefore allowing a wider tire? I know there's a lot of factors such as offset and tubing etc.. i'm not looking to tub anything but I am willing to offset. Preferably i'd like to avoid using spacers. thanks.

Welcome to the thread! Not sure what size if you are going on the stock wheel. Some here have gone to 20" for better price compared to the 21" size.
Congrats on the new purchase.

Mine is still original with 1840 miles. No mods keeping it original.

The original stock chrome wheels are a big part of what makes the Green Flash not just another Camaro. Take them off, IMHO, it's not really a Green Flash anymore. But...to each his own.

I would def be keeping the wheels, just looking for a hot swap alternative for track days

i'm looking for something where i don't have to release air pressure, been there done that. looking for something i can put on, drive to the track (400km away) race, then drive home.

GRNFLSH · 01-06-2018, 03:39 PM

I'm in the same boat, I love the GF wheels for showing off the car and street driving, but I really need some bolt-on's for the track. I'm hoping the Easter Bunny will bring some 18 or 17x10.5's this spring. There are many options that will work, just need to ensure they'll clear the brembo brakes, and when you get down to 17's you'll need to tie back the e-brake cable. Share pics if you get something.
