Will these tire sizes cause issues - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a set of 20x10 and 20x11 oem black zl1 10 spokes from a 2015 zl1. I ordered new tires from Nitto NT555 G2 front 275/40/20 and rear 315/35/20. The rear fit great but the front due to me being lowered 1.25 on pdfat springs it causing it to rub. I was suggested to order a set of 285/35/20 instead but come to find out they are on national back order with no ETA. I am going to the Camaro gathering next month in North Carolina and I have to get something but don't want to get a different brand tire as they have to be matching. Nitto in the G2 has a 275/35/20 and they have it in stock. My concern is the size difference in overall diameter if it is going to cause any issues with abs or stabilitrack. A long time ago I read if there was too much difference from front to back it could cause problems but I tried searching and haven't been able to find an answer. Does anyone have any info or are you running a 275/35/20 and 315/35/20 combo with out issues?

315/35/20 is 28.66in overall diameter and the 275/35/20 I want to order are 27.56in overall diameter.

Thank you for your help.

I would suspect the smaller fronts would not play well with the stabilitrak system. Is there any way to make the 275/40 work? Roll fenders maybe?

I’ve ran 275/35 all around and certain spots in the road caused suspension travel that would cause the service stablitrack. Race car mode is what I laughingly called it.
I now have the same wheels you do and have 285/35(1LE setup) all around. I have the rub you’re speaking of as well. Both tire setups I have been lowered on coil overs about the same drop as you. I can’t camber in anymore and am searching for a resolution for the front like you.

My solution thoughts some far:
Im considering putting 275/35 back in front and dealing with the fault tripping because they looked great.
Fender rolling I don’t know anything about yet.
Wheel spacer to allow more camber.
Raising my coil overs slightly.

If I had coil overs I would just pick it up some but I don't have that option. Someone said roll fenders but there really isn't that much there and idk if the inner fender would stay in place if you did that causing a new problem lol.

I guess I am just going to have to try it and see what happens as I cannot seem to find anyone that has run this specific combo.

Thank you for the info.

This will help you with selecting tires with proper sizes without getting the stabilitrac error.

Here is what I found. But I did not see where it would tell if it would cause issue with stabilitrac? Any help is appreciated

camaros like to be within .5 diameter of the sizes. Anything over will cause issues. And you are over with those two sizes.

hrpiii · 05-14-2018, 08:44 AM

I will be running 285/35 up front and 295/35 in the rear.

THIS.
Pay attention to THIS.

I had already ordered the 275/35/20 tires over the weekend as I needed to get something going as with the national backorder with no eta it seemed like my only option. So if I do switch out the front tires and it does cause a problem. IS the big thing that the light for service stabilitrak will burn or is there more to it?

ZWA SS · 05-15-2018, 12:29 AM

I think service stalitrack just shuts off the nannies. I don’t ever notice any difference.

So I should see no issues other than the light being on your saying?
