Need help choosing offset for 19x11 front wheel for 2017 SS 1LE

booyaa56 · 07-15-2020, 11:35 PM

So I’m going to order a 19X11 front wheels just need help with the offset that will allow me to clear the strut with max camber. Any help would be appreciated

Well a 19x10.5 et22 needs a 5mm spacer to clear so do the math from there. However if you're going to run camber plates instead of getting the camber from the adjustment at the knuckle there's a good chance you might not need the 5mm spacer at all as increasing camber at the knuckle reduces wheel to strut clearance.

The ZLE uses 19x11 et11 front wheels. But the strut is a bit smaller in size and the mounting ears for the knuckle are longer providing more clearance.
You will have to grind the strut mounting ears for clearance anyways just to fit the 19" wheels. You might be able to get away 11mm offset with -2.5* but it would be close.
I run -2.7* with 19x11 et11 and camber plates and minor strut ear grinding.

I run 19x11 ET11 Apex wheel up front and I could get -2.7 deg camber with no grinding, I used a 3mm spacer.

I run 19x11 et11 up front with no spacer and moderate grinding on strut with no camber plates -2.7 camber. No issues on track or autox
