Z/28 suspension on a standard Camaro with non-Z/28 wheels? Anyone tried?

Hello all,

I have noticed that the complete Z/28 suspension is available from the GM Performance Parts catalog - which is a mod I am seriously interested in. I am however afraid that I would not be able to use the Z/28 wheel / tire combo, as they are too wide (as far as I can tell, the Z/28 has fender flares).

Hence the question: Has anyone got any experience with Z/28 suspension on a non-Z/28 Camaro, with standard (or 1LE) wheel / tire combo? I heard and read that the Z/28 is considerably lower than the normal Camaro. Are there any issues with tire to bodywork clearance?

Thanks in advance!

Do a little searching in this suspension subforum and you'll find there are already a few guys that have put this on their car. One of them is X25. Here's a thread where the Z/28 suspension was discussed quite a bit already.

Also search online for the "Ultimate Track Camaro SS" and you'll find that the chevy performance parts division has created what they consider the ultimate track camaro ss using quite a few of the Z/28 parts.
