1LE to Z/28 Wheel Specs
I acquired a set of used Z/28 wheels that I am going to run on the car with a set of Hankook RS3 (140 treadwear). I figured out the following information for 1LE owners looking to changed to a 305/30/19 tire for the track. ( No, I cant get anymore Z/28 wheels for you ) Note: I have a set of used 305/30/19 Bridgestones on the car in the pictures while I was test fitting them and deciding what tire to try....
Stock 1LE

You of all people should know that we have 20 x 11" rears.

Whats the clearance like on the inside of the rear tires? Can they be brought in a few mm? -3.5 degrees of camber up front tucks a lot of tire from what I've done with camber plates.

In the pictures the car is sitting with -2.0 up front and -1.0 in the rear.
There is 11mm more clearance than the stock wheel on the backside.

How do you like -3.5 degrees camber in the front? How's tire wear on the track? I'm at -2.9 now and since I'm running Hoosiers on the track I'm thinking of going to -3.5 or maybe -4 degrees. I know a racer that is at -5 degrees front but Justice Pete advised that I go -4 max, even for a track-only car.

The reason why you don't want too much camber is keeping things balanced with the rear where you normally run half the front setting. You reach a point and your camber in the rear gets too high and you will have a hell of a time planting the power in straights and powering out of turns. High HP RWD cars will always need to find a balance. If we were mid engined we could push the envelope more. |

I think it rides the same if not better than stock as the wheel/tires are 5lbs lighter per corner...side wall is almost the same at 91mm vs 97ish mm stock. Turn in is good and the seat of the pants acceleration is better in all gear (as the smaller tires act like a gear was installed)

Matt, lookin good. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to morph a Z/28 splitter and front flares to a 2013 1LE like ours? While I'm happy with my wing, I need to improve front downforce to better balance the car aerodynamically as my APR splitter isn't quite enough.

You need the 2014 front end to make it work. Been pondering that plus the ACS Z-style spoiler but not sure how to terminate the wheel flares/rocker situation since I have zero interest in a rear end conversion. Might need to make a small custom piece or two out of fiberglass but no time for that.
I'm curious to see what the aero package from GM includes since it seems to be a "partial" setup around the sides of the car. |
