Looking for tire recommendations
 

I drive a 2016 Camaro 2SS MBM A8 Convertible. I am currently sitting on stock 20" wheels with (don't judge, this is what was on it when I bought it) 245/40r20 Cooper RS3's on the front and 275/35r20 Michelin AS3+ on the rear.

I just picked up a staggered set of 20x10/20x11 MRR M650 black wheels for a super great deal. So, I have 2 real questions. Recommended fitment for these wheels is 285/30 and 305/30. I have seen a few people run 285/35 and 305/35 on wheels this size and offset. Is all that is required for this setup just moving the wiring harness on the drivers rear wheel well? I just really don't like the gap between the tire and the fender and I would prefer to not lower my car.

My other big question is about what is most economical for me to do at this point. What I would love to do is buy 285/35 and 305/35 Michelin PS4S all the way around, but my old tires are pretty new (came with the car <10,000 miles ago) and I would like to reuse the Michelin AS3+ from my rear for my new fronts. I know I can't reuse the Cooper 245s from up front because they won't go on a 10 inch wheel. My current plan is to put my Michelin AS3+ (275/35) from the rear on the front, and purchase new Michelin PS4S (305/35) for the rear. On tiresize.com's tire comparison tool however, I am seeing that the difference in tire height is pretty big, 0.8" (27.6" vs 28.4"). Is this difference big enough that it will cause problems with traction control and stability control?

Thanks in advance!

Also, I should note, my 2SS does not have MRC.

My new wheels will be delivered today. I ended up purchasing 2 new Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar 3 305/30r20 for the rear, and I'm going to reuse my 275/35r20 AS3+ on the front. Hopefully that will all fit with no issues.

Let me know if anyone thinks I might have problems with this setup.

I highly recommend NOT running that setup. The fronts are all season tires and the rears are high performance.

I agree that I would rather run the same thing all the way around. With me having fairly new tires and changing wheels however, I want to be able to still use what I can up front if size is not an issue. The Michelin AS3+ is one of the best handling all seasons, so while I know I won't get as good performance, I think I will be ok to run them as a daily driver. I plan on running this way until those tires are worn, and then I will be putting Michelin PS4S all the way around.

I hope you don't have ANY inclement weather this year... Having tires with better traction in the front is a horrible idea...

I won't, it will be better traction in the rear. My fronts are Michelin AS3+ and the rears are GY eagle f1 supercar.

He meant rain showers. Your rear will be dancing around in inclement weather like cheerleaders on red bull.

Thanks, sorry I was confused about what he was saying. And I didn't know the F1s were known to be that bad in the rain. For the time being, I'm going to have to be super careful then with this setup, or leave the Camaro at home on rainy days. I appreciate both of you guys letting me know! Thank you!

michelin p4s ftw

What do you plan to do with the car? If your not going to the track look at Nitto 555G2. Summer tire, nothing fancy, often more cost effective then other "name"brands.

While I would never do what the OP is doing tire wise, I totally disagree with what you said. I'd much rather be able to steer and have the rear hydroplane first rather than have my front tires hydroplane and not be able to steer at all...
