Why Not 4 20x11?

I have the 1LE Wheels on my Camaro in the OEM offset of 20x10 fronts and 20x11 rears.

Is there any negative side effect to having two 20x11 wheels also put on the front axle so I can have a true square setup?

I'm sure with proper offsets, it can be done. A lot of us running 9", 10" square.

Based on my reading on this forum (can't say from experience) the 11" wheels would have to stick out past the fender so as to not rub on the inside, and if they're past the fender they'll need to be small (diameter wise) so as to not crush the fender during suspension compression - so you could do 11" but you may need smaller/thinner tires like what the Z28 uses.

Yes, I have run 20x10.5 upfront and squared with no issues... but when I went to 11” rims I dropped to 19” diameter.

Awesome, so the primary concern is leaving enough space for the fender? That's a good enough reason not to do it for me, as I want to stick with OEM parts as much as possible.

Thanks everyone!

Square rocks from a handling perspective, at least on stock SS suspension. Gets the car much more closer to neutral, eliminates a lot of the understeer bias.

What offset did you get? I'm leaning towards a squared setup but I feel like 20x9's are too small. The wheel I like has 20x10.5 with 40mm offset.
Also, what size tires do you use on the 20x10.5s?
