Here are the guidelines/limits:
CAR 2002 Camaro SS (see sig) -Must be OE style wheel d/t price (this includes the new C6 Grand sport wheel) Links for wheels: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels-for-Camaro/c304226/ http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...hp?cPath=21_79 -Open to 17 or 18" wheels -Lowered on strano springs/Koni's -Stock calipers right now -Prefer not to run spacers -Must be a 200 + treadwear tire -No tubs or mini tubs -I am willing to run a larger front setup for competition and downsize fronts (and rears?) for the street I would love to run the lightest style of OE wheels (if anyone has input on weights), and I would prefer to run this same wheel/tire for street and track (since I'm 200+ treadwear anyway)...I am planning on using the new Nitto NT05. Like I said, I am not opposed to running a larger tire upfront for competition and staggard on the street FWIW. The NT05's come in the following sizes that I would consider: 275/40 17, 315/35 17, 275/40 18, 295/35 18 Looking for input from those who compete and who have gone down this road before...Thanks! |

That deal is invitation only correct?
17 inch wheels limit your choices in brakes. C6 Vette brakes work well and fit under 17 inchers. For max grip you need a set of 17 x11 on all for corners with 315/35 tires. I run 17 x9' s with the 275 nt-05. The next option is a 18 x10.5 z06 wheel on all 4 corners, opens up your brake options, tires hurt the wallet a lot worse than 17's. |

Can you do the 18x10.5 on all corners without spacers or fitment issues? Are the C5Zo6 wheels the best style choice (d/t weight) or do all these OEM style reproduction wheels weigh the same approximately? Would you still run this fitment on the road course? They are now doing a host of regional events...if you win the regional you get an auto invite to the big dance. |
