PICS-2011 GM ZR1 Wheels on 2011 CamaroSS
I know this is the FI Section, however I have to share this with all of you! With the new Camaro5 I have always wondered about aftermarket wheels and what is the WIDEST wheel and tire combo you could fit. Not sure if anyone has tried before, however here is a few pics of my 2011 GM ZR1 Wheels fitted up nicely on our 2011 SS Camaro. The ONLY modification to the rear is a 1/4 in wheel spacer. That is it! With the low profile of the tires the Camaro needs to be lowered a little more, however this camaro looks badazz with this wheel/tire combo! Wheel Specs are: REAR-GM 2011 ZR1 Wheels -20x12 in rear with 335-25-20 Michelin Pilot Sport Tires FRONT-GM 2011 ZR1 Wheels-19x10.5in front with 285-30-19 Michelin Pilot Sport Tires Pics Driver Side View  DriverSide View from Rear-13in. of Tire out back is BADAZZ!!  Passenger tire view from rear. Not so badazz anymore.  Driverside rear fender view from top looking down on tire. Tucks nicely!  Rear Tire widths compared side by side

Was the spacer needed for control arm clearance or brake clearance?
I wouldn't be caught dead with a spacer on my car, especially on the drive axle. |

It was needed to move the wheel outward from the plastic fender panel. The wheel and tires clear the lower control arms and the brakes just fine. The 10.5in wide wheel fit the rear fine without any spacer, however I wanted the 13in wide tire on back.The spacer will cause absolutely no harm to anything. Chris |

So wait if a 13 in tire fits...wouldnt a properly sized 12 in rim also work. ? I have a 315/20 on my car and it appears to be maxed out....conti extreme by the way.
Also I went on tire rack and saw a 345/25/20 could this also fit Chris? PS @ 600 a pop ..thats freakin costly ...sheesh |

That looks awesome! How tall are the tires? The rear looks like it is shorter than the factory tires. Any issues with stabilitrack?

Those wheels are awesome. I've been wanting the same on my car and have even searched to find it being done. No luck until this thread.
