295/35R20 Front? 315/35R20 Rear? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have MRR M755 20x10+23 fronts and 20x11+43 rears. My question is will 295/35R20's work with no issues? I'm ar factory height. I ordered Nitto NT555 G2's and they were just shipped today. Thought I had all.my ducks in a row, but then I was told I should've went with 295/30's and 315/30's. I have read They will work no problem, then I have read they will not work, they will rub. I know the brake cable needs to be zip-tied in the rear. Any help is appreciated. And before anyone says it, I have searched and this forum's search function will not work on my phone.

With those width and offset wheels you should be alright. I had 285/35/20's on the front on my MRR M228's, 10 wide and +23 with no issues and lowered 1.25, on the rear I had 315/35/20's on the MRR M228's, 11 wide and +43, then I had tried a set of 335/30/20's on the rear but didn't like the way the sidewalls looked, so went back to the 315/35's. More square looking. You being still stock ride height, you shouldn't have to tie back anything on the rear, I didn't have to, even lowered..

Why?

There is no more grip running that size tire as the outer edges of the tire aren't on the ground. You are carrying around tire you can't use and they will prematurely wear out the center of the tire.

The 5th gen ZL1 runs a 285/35/20 on front and a 305/35/20 on the rear on those size wheels.

Can you run them? Sure you can, no advantage to doing it though. The 30 series sidewall looks goofy and small on a 5th gen to me.

True that. And by running 30's on the front the ride quality will suck big time as there isn't much cushion between you and the road, and not to mention if you hit a decent pothole by mistake, you risk damaging a wheel..
