Never had any "driveability" issues with the Conti's, that's why I still run them on the front. If Conti made a 335/30 tire, I would have them on the rear, but they don't. I also an in Florida in case you didn't see that. My Camaro was also a daily driver for 9 of the 12 years I have had her, so yeah, she has had her bouts of driving in the rain. I live on the east coast.

That sounds perfect! I am pretty good about being calm on my tires. Conti is the way to go as I see it. With the sizes I am running , I hopeful to not see any Stabiltrack issues. I only drive to and from work mostly (about 18mi total) a day , highway, so they won't get too much milage a week lol.
I live in Orlando near downtown , so yeah we share the same heat and rain road conditions lol. THe wife and I like to go to the Space center every so often , and my company has a contract with them as well when ever they do special events. Like now we are doing the sound , lighting, and video for the "Holidays in Space".

That's awesome! Yeah, you won't have any issues with the ABS or the stibilitrack, I never did with the tire specs you want to run. As long as the tire diameter is within 1 inch of each other front to back, you're good! The key is to stay within the tire diameter that the car came with stock. And yeah, when I drove mine daily to and from work it was only 18 miles round trip, 5 days a week, then some weekend cruises and car shows, so not too much stress on my tires. Key thing also is to make sure the alignment is spot on, and always keep the tire pressures where they need to be. I run mine at 35psi cold. Good luck with them sir, you'll love them.

Oh, and don't forget to get a set of the Gorilla lug nuts too. Your OEM's won't work.

I have been eyeballing the Gunmetal MRR M017 staggered set up for a while , and may pull the trigger next week after CHristmas. (Maybe Phastek might have a post Xmas sale LOL). Anyhoot , 2 questions I have that may be redundant , but I am playing rather safe then sorry.

1-WIll I have any rubbing issues going with the 20x10 and 20x11 set up? I am not lowered , as of yet anyway lol.
2-Tires I am looking at are the Continental Extreme Contacts. 275/35 front , 305/35 rear. Are these the correct sizes so I will not have issues with recalibrating the speedo?? Also , is this a good all season tire (located in Florida) , for she is still my everyday driver, and a V6, SO I am not looking for a super soft track tire or anything. But a good gripping everyday wear tire. Hopefully the Conti's meet that if anyone has experience feedback.

Anyway , sorry to drone on , but feeling pretty stoked lol. Appreciate everyone's feedback and advice as always!

So those are the exact wheels I have, except in gloss black. Also, I am running Conti Extreme Contacts, 275 fronts and 315 rears. No rubbing, EXCEPT - you will need to tie back your e-brake cable. I used some extra heavy duty black zip ties. Super easy. The Contis are an awesome tire, btw.

It will totally transform the look of your car. Hands down the best appearance mod I did.

I'm guessing I'm one of the "lucky" ones! lol. I never had to tie back my e-brake cable. Had plenty of clearance with the M228's with the same specs as yours and his. I have seen where a lot of the guys had to do that.

What's more insane is that you didn't have to do it with your current wheel/tire setup. 335's, right?

Yes sir, you are correct. And the funny thing about that with the 11.5 inch wide wheels and the +30 offset, I STILL have about 3-4 more inches between the inner tire sidewall and anything even close to touching! So if I could have moved them inwards some more, I would have, but couldn't find anything 12 inches wide I really like in a deep concave 5 spoke look. I saw some 19x12's, but didn't want to go 19. Plus they were outragiously expensive!!

That exactly whats in my cart lol. I went with chrome to accent the badging. Seeing all the accents on the car are the cyber gray metallic , or chrome. So the rims are going to accent both. I am also going with the satin black center caps with the bowtie.

Yeah I am pretty excited , coming from the stock beauty rim steelies lol! I have read about zip tieing the e-brake . Some had to do it some didn't , so I am going to definitely going to keep an eye on that.
