Gonna be running a set of Black 1LE 10 spokes soon..I hope. What size tires will work best?? Got Mich pilots on my hurst wheels, 305's and 255's....fit??

Have you got the same setup (10s & 11s)? The 1LE runs 285/35 on all 4. Think some other guys have already gone up to 305s, I wouldn't think 255s would work. Good luck getting the wheels!

The Michelin Pilot's, I think run a little bigger so might be ok, but I would say a minimum of 275 would probably be the smallest I would want to run on the front 10's and the rear I run a Nitto 315/35-20's

Any suspension correction to accommodate the larger patch out back?

Just what Pete recommended, Pedders Supercar Coilovers, ZL1 Sways, HD Subframe Bushings, Radius Bushings...it's all good...

So Cal Camaro, why the ZL1 sway bars? I'm curious as I have seen a couple 1LE owners do that. The 1LE already has 27 mm front and 28 mm rear, and I think they are both solid. I was also thinking that they are either bigger or the same size as the ZL1 which I think has like a 27mm on the rear? Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like the money on the sways would be better spent else where as the 1LE already has great sway bars? Just wondering!

The front bar from Pedder's is adjustable, the 1LE bar is not(Both 27mm)...and the rear Pedder's ZL1 rear bar is 32mm, so larger than the 1LE 28mm bar, to help with handling since I am running the larger tire on the rear.
