TSW Nuburgrings and a sqaure set-up - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've been debating picking up a set of these rims and going with a square set-up. Mainly for the handling advantages and the ability to rotate the tires.

Has anybody run a set-up like this with these wheels? I was thinking of either going with 20x9 or 20x10, but am stuck on what size tires I can run up front. Fitment is a key issue here, as my car will spend some time on a road course and any rubbing would be problematic. The car is stock height right now, but I will probably have lowering springs or coilovers at some point if I keep my car for long enough.

Anyone have any suggestions for tire size? Did some searching about square set-ups and couldn't find much info.

I know JusticePete did 305's all around but it was on 19" wheels with a specific offset. Most of the square set-ups I've seen are with 9" wheels and 275 tires either on 19 or 20" wheels.

bear with me until next week. I have 20x10 with 275/40 nitto nt05s going all around if they will fit (+35mm offset option). The wheels actually came in Friday in the wrong finish so the right ones should be here by Thursday. We're going to mount two up and slap them on the front and take pics. If they don't work, I can send the other two tires and wheels back. I'll order some wheels from Tony instead and run a 315 on the back. It'll just leave me with two 20x10's to sell...which I got a smokin price that I will pass on to someone if I indeed have to sell them. My car is lowered on Pfadt springs, stock struts. I'm using a semi aggressive allignment (not Pfadt's most extreme recommendation, but the next one down from it).

Awesome! Be sure to post an update with pictures and how they fit once you get them on.

I just ordered a set of 20x9 and 20x10.5 and remeber the ZL1 has 10" and 11"
on it and there is no fitmit problem. so you should have know problem, google tire calculator and you can put in stock and then the tire you want to use and youll get an exact overview on everything its very usefull, good luck

What we don't know about the zl1 is the strut diameter at this point however. That's the issue...nothing else as long as you can keep it in the fender.

Has anyone run a square setup with 19" TSW Nurburgrings?
