Road race tire and wheel set up? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm really looking for that low and wide look for my soon to be 1SS/RS. Whats the smallest and widest wheels that will fit on the ss Camaros, and whats the widest tires that will fit with out destroying a fender? I will probably have the fenders rolled and flared to use the biggest, stickiest road race style rubber I can find, but until then a lil help? I was thinking Michelin Pilot Sport Cup's in 315/25ZR20 or PROXES T1-R 345/25 ZR20 on all four corners, on these rimshttp://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand in 20x10.5 all the way around if they will fit.The wider I can make fit, the better, even if it means rolling and flaring the fenders. 4 big sticky's in all four corners just do it for me, especially if the car has the power to back them up in the curves.Also where should I look for an adjustable coilover set up. I'm hoping to have the car capable of z06 performance in a year or two, with the Reaper kit, upgraded clutch and rear end gears, and good adjustable coil over suspension, of course along with improving my driving skills, and big, fresh sticky tires.

Talk to CCW, John over there has been playing with road race wheel fitments. The smallest wheel that will fit is 18" I believe. You can fit 315 rears no problem. Fronts probably 285 max before they hit the strut spring perch. I'm also interested in a performance setup, consisting of lightweight wheels and soft tires.

I am thinking of doing the same thing. I like your wheel selection. Please post what works for you.
