I agree on the 275/40/20, they look too tall and I would prefer to lower the effective gear ratio with a shorter tire. If you are running the stock SS 9" wheel all around, how does it look on the car with the 9" SS wheel on the front?

I also wondered about a set of the newer 6th Gen V8 SS stock wheels with 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, but I hear that they do rub on the Chevy SS and on the Gen 5 Camaro.
I suck at downloading pics from my phone or I'd post one. Maybe someone else will step up. To me, they look good. They tuck inside the fender just a bit.

I finally put up the money and got true Z28 wheels and 305/30-19 wheels all around. The Z28 wheels are off hold at Chevy, so it was easy to get. I also thought of going aftermarket and save some money, but I have heard of some horror stories and I did not want that! It put my effective rear end ratio at about a 3.77 rather than the onboard 3.45, and also took out a bunch of the front end under steer and push! I love the way it drives! It feels like I got at least 40 hp with the effective lower gear and it wakes it up a lot! And with most of the understeer gone it is great! I got a set of Continental DW tires, which have a little narrower tread width than some of the competing tires, and I have zero rubbing. They are also a very streetable tire, but they do toss up more dirt onto the side of the car with how they stick out.

Here are Forgeline GA1R 19x11 with an ET20 offset and a 7mm spacer and Bridgestone RE-71R 305/30's. The 7mm spacer makes the effective offset an ET13. Camber is -2,4* (maxed out/slotted strut holes), Z/28 DSSV strut, no camber plate. Some poke, but I am gonna reinstall my Moreno camber plates to see if I can mount these without the 7mm spacer.
