Alignment

Hey there guys,
I have a 2013 SS to which I've fitted a set of ZL1 replica rims (from MMR) I fitted new Pirelli P-Zero tyres at the same time. Both rear tyres are heavily worn on the inside after only 5k miles; I do drive her "enthusiastically" most of the time but don't do burnouts etc so I'm surprised they haven't lasted longer. A few owners tell me I should get the car aligned in a shop to ZL1 spec to ensure better wear. Any thoughts? And has anyone on here got alignment specs they can share? Over here in the UK tyre/alignment places are not generally conversant with Chevrolet gear. Thanks in advance for any help given.
Ed

Note that there are typos in the OEM columns so don't use those without confirming.

I just installed new 1LE wheels and Michelin PS4s and replaced my front coilovers. Going in Friday to have it aligned to the ZL1 spec. I can forward you the GM specs for all Camaros I had from years ago. I've had many different alignments done over the years when I tracked my car. Going back to the street friendly settings that are OEM since I don't track anymore. $2000 bucks for PS4s I want then to last.

Same here, when I lowered my Camaro and went with the wider wheels, and offsets, I had them install a ZL1 alignment spec to the suspension, front and back, as the stock SS wheels were pretty narrow, and the aftermarket wheels much wider and moved outward a bit more. No issues with tire wear front of back after 11 years!!

You are welcome. Good luck... I run a 285/35 front tire on a 10.5 wide wheel in the front and a 335/30 tire on a 11.5 wide wheel on the rear. Previous wheels were the MMR -M228 Z28 replica's, 20x10 +23 front with 275/35 tire and 20x11 rear +43 with 315/35 tire.

I run 305 P-Zero rubber on the rear, I didn't realise you could stretch to 335. Though after being kicked in the wallet yesterday for two x 305 I ain't sure I could justify the extra 30mm width! Nice car btw.

Thanks man. Yea, when I did have the M228's on there that were 11.0 wide rears, I did have the 335's on them for a bit, until I got the Feradda's that are on there now that are 11.5 wide. The extra half inch on the wheel width makes them look better than the 11.0's. I always ran 315's on them.

335's on the 11.0 wide M228's.
