Pics of my 1LE/ZL1 Factory Repo wheels

I took a couple pics this morning of my 1LE/ZL1 Factory Reproduction wheels (Style 41).
They are the same size and offsets as the 1LE/ZL1 wheels (20x10.0 front, 20x11.0 rear).
This will be my summer/wet season setup. We get around 10" of rain each month (June - Oct) down here. My completly bald drag radials about got me killed the other day in the rain, so I decided to make a switch to a different setup during the wet season.

My car is also back to stock ride height. I wanted a smoother ride. I've run Pedders coil overs and BMR lowering springs, both of which had a little too firm of a ride for me.

Very nice. Did you decide to run a square tire setup like the 1LE or staggered like the ZL1?

Looks great!

I love how you can see so much tire sticking out of the wheel well on my car.

No, I went with 275s (front) and 315s (rear). I wanted a 315 in the back to help with grip off the line. Basically the same reason they put 305s for the rear tires on the ZL1.

But my car handles ridiculously well with the new setup. I'm not used to having this much grip going around turns.

Nice look. Where did you get the rockers and the repro wheels from?

I believe I got the rockers from GMdirect.com (I think). It's been a few years. They are OEM ZL1 rockers. I got the wheels from Factory Reproductions a vendor on this site.
My front lip spoiler is from SLP.

Nice to know they fit. I ordered the factory Wheels (With employee discount I work at a GM dealership) The CAMARO etching in the wheel lip sold me. I wasn't sure about the tire setup so I pulled a VIN off a ZL1 & went with the OEM setup. Staggered it is. I can't wait to get my car! TPW is this week!

If you want your front tires tucked in, you'll want to go with the +35 offsets on the front wheels.
If you want the 1LE/ZL1/Z28 look with the front wheels slightly sticking out, then you'll want the OEM offsets of +23.

The OEM offsets (+23) give the car a more aggressive look. I've seen both and the +23s definitely make the car look more aggressive.

If you've seen the new Z28 with 305s up front, they noticeably stick out even with the fender extentions.

It's all what you like. But the 1LE, ZL1, and Z28 all have their front wheels slightly out past the front fenders.

Car looks amazing!

So you put the stock shocks back on? Or did you just raise the height on your coilovers?

I put the stock shocks (no coilovers or lowering springs) back on the car. I have a few BMR pieces on my car like trailing arms, but the shocks/ride height is back to stock. There's some pretty crappy roads around here that I drive on frequently. The bumps, dips, etc in the roads starting bothering me.
With the stock suspension back on the car, it feels really good. The stock shocks also work well when launching the car off the line.
