Hey guys,
I recently started autocrossing my 2000 camaro ss. I want to get more competitive but I will not run any class formally, I just want to have fun and beat my own best time. Currently, Im looking to buy wheels and tires because my current tires are getting old and they are 275/40/17 all-season kumhos. I want to upgrade to either a nt05 or bfg rival. What I cant decide is if I should go to a 18x10.5 because I prefer the looks and run a 295 tire all around or stay with stock wheels and run 275 nt05's all around. Which would you guys choose and why? Thanks, look forward to becoming part of the community |

How much of a difference in ultimate grip will there be if I stayed with 275/40/17's instead of going to a 295/35/18?

Not enough to justify switching to all new wheels. Also if you are taking about going to c5z wheels you will need all new studs and spacers.
