What tires for Race star 17x7 and 17x9.5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

WHAMMO · 09-02-2015, 09:08 PM

What tires front and rear!? 215 55 17 and 275 40 17? Drag/street setup, no slick.

Pro Stock John · 09-02-2015, 11:00 PM

For your 4th gen? Fronts sound a bit tall.

WHAMMO · 09-03-2015, 03:44 AM

SORRY NEED TO UPDATE signature..5th gen 1LE

Pro Stock John · 09-03-2015, 01:14 PM

I've been running

17x7 / 215/65R17 all season radials up front, V rated the higher speed ones

18x10.5 / 305/45R18

The RSI 17x9.5 rears are not available yet, I have a few sets ordered and will update once I have when they are here.

I've been wondering this too, but still waiting on my wheels... Sub

Pro Stock John · 09-03-2015, 01:35 PM

Well for the 17x9.5s I picked up a set of M&H 275/50R17 (28" Tall) drag radials.

WHAMMO · 09-04-2015, 01:44 PM

My 17x9.5 RCI are on the way...what do you think about running a 275 40 17?

Pro Stock John · 09-04-2015, 04:48 PM

If you are saying 17x9.5 Race Star wheels for the 5th gen, they are not in stock. What wheels do you have ordered?

I would not run the tire size you mention those are like 26.0 tall. Unless you are intentionally wanting to run them.

WHAMMO · 09-04-2015, 07:19 PM

Well..I bought a set and the next shipment is next week, unless its changing again, but since you are a distributor you know whats really going on!

I want to run em cause its smaller and will give me more 'gear' like 4:56 haha, but dont know if its a good a idea.

45thCAMARO 2SS/RS · 09-05-2015, 12:11 AM

I called them and they said there was another delay, so no wheels until late sept or early Oct. :/ I'm going to trade up for the 18x10.5... Don't wanna wait anymore

fukk...17inch tires are so cheap but sizes choice suck. thinking about 18''...I'll wait

Pro Stock John · 09-05-2015, 11:32 AM

I can get the 18x10.5s for now as the 17x9.5s are not in stock yet.
