If I run 315x35x20 on 20x11.5 rears and 275x45x20 on 20x10 in the front, will I be able to lower the car without the tires rubbing?

You should be good, but do you know the off-sets you'll be running?

flamethrower · 11-28-2011, 05:47 PM

No i dont know for sure but does 5x120 make any sense?

That's your bolt pattern

JDP Tech · 11-28-2011, 06:24 PM

5x120 is just the lug pattern of the Camaro.

I don't know for sure, but in theory you should be ok, depending on the offset, as Steiger said.
The rear tires are virtually the same size as stock (other than width), but the front tires are nearly an inch taller than stock, which may or may not cause problems. You'll have to get advice from others who have actually done this, sorry.

You need to change the front tire size to 275/40/20....and make sure your wheel offsets are correct!!

Im running that same combo but with 305/35 in the rear and lowered 1"

I will make sure on the offset and you are right on the fronts I do have 275/40/20(typo).By the way your car is badass. Thanks for the help guys ordering springs tonight!
