RS and SS wheels/tires.......

Are not the same. Everyone else may know it, but when I was putting on new wheels today, I learned the RS option does indeed stagger the wheels at 8.5 and 9.5 width but the tires are the same- 245’s front and rear!

Huh?
So GM gave you wider wheels but the same tire.....LOL....cost cutting again?

Just do what the cool kids are doing and stretch the tire. Then be real hip and give them some negative camber.
