Looking at Performance tires street/strip - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have been looking at performance tires and smaller rims for my 10 SS.
Can't really find a good match/set. I've looked at Nitto Invo and Hankook Evo tires and they seem like good summer performance tires. The rims so far I've only looked at TSW line of rims.
What I want is a good (2nd) set for the street/strip. Was thinking about 18s or even 17s but I read/heard 18s are hard as is to fit on the front. And then either 19s in the back or 20s will do, with 295-315 if possible.

Right now I'm squared with 20x9 all the way around -
Or How about 19s all the way around with a wider rear?

I'm looking at the discount tire website if that helps so any help you guys give you can see what im looking at. Any links would be helpful too like reviews and such.
Thank you-

Why not go with a set of TSW Nurburgrings or Interlagos 18x9.5 on the rear, and 18x8.0 on the front. You can put any 305/45R18 drag radial on the back, and at Nitto NT555 265/50R18 on the front. This set-up will fit perfectly without any modification needed, other than possibly moving your emergency brake cable a little bit to clear the inner wheel.
