Just picked up a full set in Anthracite. Had them shipped earlier today. Cheers!

What width rims and offset? Cut springs not good.

19x11 ET25 squared!

Looking to pick up OEM springs. Any suggestions on an appropriate course of action?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can you afford the Z28 suspension kit or the 1LE kit? I also liked the BMR 1" drop springs with stock struts to be good as well with the Justice Pete swaybar kits he offers if money is tight for road course use. Also you have a 2012 VR SS like me ha ha. I use the Kuhmo esct V720 305-30-19 tires. Very good option for those rims and the handling of the car.

Thank you for your suggestions! So it seems like I have the ability to play with a 1" drop? Is there any viability with sticking a 315 in the rear PS7 19x11?

I'm not able to afford a new suspension kit. My goal is to stick with supple oem suspension until I'm at a skill where I can really chip off my lap times

You do bring up the topic of swaybar. I think picking up at least a swaybar for the 305-30-19 application will give me a little more peace of mind.

I'll populate my profile in the following weeks. Thank you for the inspiration!!!

Of course 315s will work. I was thinking of putting 325s in the rear of my car. These rims stick out and has a ton of space in between the fender lining and inner tire/rim. They still look killer though and I get too much damn compliments and stalkers with my car now more than ever. Car is flat as hell on turns and will be better with the 315s or 325s. I was honestly thinking of getting Forgeline or Finspeed to make me a set of 19x11.5 or 19x12s for the rear. A stock 1LE/ZL-1 front sway bar with the Justice Pete rear sway bar should work great as well if you are on a budget.

19x12s for the rear

Man 325s @ the rear sounds like a hell of a time. What brand of tire did you have in mind? At that tire size, would it be too much for the 19x11?

Thinking a little ahead here: Would I have the need for camber plates when I get my first alignment with the new shoes?

Thank you!
VR SS FTW

I would advise camber plates. I had my Pedders for over 50k miles now and still no rattle. Should be the same as the Justice Pete kit. I9x11 would work good providing the tires isn't too soft 325s on 12s would be better.

But I will have to use the 8" coilover spring to clear the 305 tire. They will fit the stock front strut even better. On the rear there is no clearance issues of course. They do stick out somewhat like Z28 rims at back though. Nice so for track use we can go ahead and order these or the lighter, stronger, better Volks. If anyone wants to but my 2 Apex rims so I can get the VOLKS let me know .

Would this clear stock suspension on a 2014 ss? Im looking to do 19x11 on all four corners, offest doesnt matter front to back for me. Does it stick out. I would run max negative camber on the front to tuck them.

You may have to run spacers up front if you use the Apex 19x11 rims.
