That looks cool!!

20x9 and 20x10 Will work fine with stock SS tires. The MRR M017 only come in 20x10 & 20x11 These require larger tires. You can put the stock SS Rear to the front and the 305/35R20 on the rears. We have great prices on MRR Wheels.

Here you can even do 315/35/20's like a lot of us have done.

I guess for sake of record keeping, I did go with the crossfires, like mentioned in post before it's hard to beat them for the looks, weight, and price, at least with the availability at the moment

Stock tires (245 front and 275 rear) did stretch on the 9s and 10.5s, although the rears do look a bit stretched, but have held to abuse, I just wouldn't take them to the track, when time comes for new tires I'm definitely going 275 up front and 315 in the rear, there is a sticky thread in here that breaks down the sizes and that looks like it gets you the closest to stock wheel diameter. Here are some pics of the rear tire and I did confirm that streak you see is not rubbing or bulging it seems to just be dirt (more like the lack of dirt it's just dirty above and below it)

That is the exact setup I have. I feel the fronts are good but the backs need to be a little wider. Next time I get rears I am going to do the general gmax rs 305/35/20. The 305s won't really hook any better but they will look better.lol
The nittos are for hooking up.

I go on this tangent too much (very fun at parties) but wider tire doesn't necessarily mean more traction since friction is not dependant on surface area in physics (think big brake kit, you stop about the same but bigger brakes are meant for heat dissipation so they don't fade as fast), in real life there is a minimum contact patch you need because of real life factors like road surface and things like water, but wider tires are meant to compensate for softer tire since they deform a lot more and you have more area to keep that minimum required contact patch. Basically if you're driving on your standard all seasons, grip should be about same on wider tire, you do get lower wear I think though plus wide tires look really good, real plus is you can safely run a soft tire that you can't at narrower wheels.

Hey Eddy,thought about you when I ran across this vid, and your concern about the stretch on your tires. Yours are nothing like the Camaro in this video! And this guy's car is lowered on air suspension. His is kinda extreme and way more than yours are. I guess this guy went a little overboard with the look though, with the negative camber and the tilted exhaust tips. But to each their own!!

I wish that i went with the gunmetal color instead of the satin black ones. Anyone wanna trade?

Yeah I've (mostly) stopped worrying about it for now, but have become more aware of it recently, feel like I'm checking the sidewall of every modded car I see in person and online, honestly yeah I'm pretty tame compared to some of the Nissan Zs and BMWs I've seen recently.

You have a great looking Camaro. I bet it runs as good as it looks.
