Yeah I track mine but not as often as I'd like. Just a couple times a year. What's the offset on those apex wheels? I'm running 19x10.5 square et22 (bmw specs) with 305/30/19. I run a 5mm spacer on the front and hubcentric ring from apex.

What is the reasoning going to a tire that is 2.5" smaller than the stock tire?

I track my 1LE a few times every summer, but I am running the factory 20" wheels with sticky DOT tires.
No fancy track only set as of yet. Currently running Yokohama Advan Apex tires at 295/35R20 fronts and 305/35R20 rears. They have been quite nice! Handling track work and regular driving great. I have had some Toyo R888Rs at 295/35R20 square on the car right after I bought it years ago. They were amazing on track but they got over heated pretty quickly and would wear extremely fast. Only lasting 1.5 seasons. About 8 track days. Right after the Toyos wore out, I got some PS4s at the same size, square. They were very good on track and lasted a few years.

I try and track my 1LE as much as possible.
10x a year or more. Not this year as the Camaro has been in the shop getting paint work and some minor cosmetic upgrades. Winter engine upgrades in store. I still run extra sets of 20” wheels 20x10F & 20x11R with Bridgestone Potenza RE 070 285/35/20 square Gladiator X Comp HP 305/30/20 square BMR-Springs -trailing arms -toe rods -cradle bushings LTH w/cat delete CAI Crank scrapper Track Windage tray Oil cooler Tune Harness bar Seats w/harness belts I definitely need more camber front and rear so that’s next on the list. |

I wish there were more 5th gen's at the track. I never see them, just plenty of 6th gen's.
shu92870, I like those 6th gen ZL1 wheels on your car. But damn they seem like a PITA to clean. |

I'll add a pic into the mix.
There is a handful of 5th gens that show up but mainly 6th gen ZL1-1LEs

I tracked my '14 1LE. See link to build thread below. Traded it in on a Gen6 SS 1LE. There's lots of Gen5 build threads here from guys who tracked their cars. Search the member car journals sub forum.
