Can't wait to see your setup, and I'm glad you went with the NT05s. I've been wanting to see a car setup with F14s running 315 NT05s.

Don't worry Les, August will be here before we know it, hopefully just in time for WOODWARD. Can't wait to see them on your Camaro.

Love the look on mine. But I went with 20x11 in the rear (forgeline DS3's). Using the same tires as your looking at.

I'm happy with my set-up also! 9 1/2" front, 10 1/2" rear F14's with 275/315 Nitto Invos. Between this set-up and coilovers lowerd 1 1/2" all around my car feels like a whole new ride! Feels like I shed 200 lbs! A lot to be said about shedding unsprung weight for sure!

That's the same wheels and tires I have. So far so good. Haven't tried it on the track though. You'll love it.

I have different wheels and brand of tires but same size. Love how they perform. If you hit roads with some grooves in them you notice it more but you just FEEL the road better all around so that is acceptable to me. Well worth the added grip on hard launching and tight turns.

I have the 20x9 /20x11 Hurst Stunner wheels with 275 / 315 Nitto Invos and think that combination looks great on the car.

The 275's up front do tend to follow ruts in the road a little more than the stock size, but I'm used to that as I was running a 285 front tire on my '02 Firehawk.

The wide tires in the back will help for straight line performance but for the twisties you want something closer to a square set up. I run 275/35/20 on a 9.5" wheel and 295/35/20 on a 10.5" wheel... Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

My car has the same setup as Fiftydriver and mine is a daily driver...the car handles so much better and I can actually "feel" the front end now!
I was looking into Pedder's pieces before doing the wheels and now I glad I didn't...I can't speak for continual twisties, but my car is alot more "stable", does not lean ANYMORE on On/Off ramps, and still has a nice comfortable "daily driver" RIDE!

I did do a ZL1 strut tower brace for "looks"!
