I have been running that setup for 5K and have had no issues. I know it looks close, but it will not hit.

That's what I needed to hear! Thanks a ton man for the good news! I was hoping it's just Chevy being over-cautious. I'll just have the tire shop do it Monday since Chevy won't and pray that mine isn't any closer than yours.

And I'm planning to go back to Chevy for my next oil change and tell them I need those tires that they refused to mount for me rotated!

They changed the tread on my back rims, but then called me and said they decided they couldn't put the rear wheels on the fronts like I requested. They said that with the rears on the front, there was only a pinky widths amount of room between the tire and the suspension. I argued that others have done it with no rubbing issues, but the bottom line is that they will not do it due to liability reasons. In case it hits and I have a blowout, they don't want to be held liable. Now I'm forced to take my remaining rear 20x9 Tire Rack ordered Pirellis to another shop for a 2nd opinion. If they say it won't work, I'll have to figure out how to exchange them out through Tire Rack for the original front sizes.
While I'm waiting for Monday to do it, I was wondering if anyone else has successfully done this on their SS?

Put mine on yesterday, no problems.

Sweet! Glad to hear it! I probably need to compile a list of these testimonials and hand them over to my Chevy service department!

So if running 2 rears the rim is just "deeper" into the wheel well? The fronts dont stick out? Anyone have 2 Midnight silver rears that are mint that want 2 fronts to trade in Michigan?
