I took the tires and wheels to our local Discount Tire store to have them mounted and balanced. They also installed the TPMS sensors.




Can you tell which one is the wider? ( both 305/30/19 but the one on the left is a 11" wheel vs a 10.5" on the right)



took another look for the front fitment with the tires mounted. Again, this is with 5mm spacer and -2.2 camber up front. The fitment would be a lot easier with street alignment and even with 3mm spacer.



As you can see the strut arm bottom side is a bit too close and some grinding will hopefully fix that


and here are some pictures with them on the car .. Front poke was minimal compared to rear. Rear is also not too bad but they stick out about 18mm.



Soon to be installed: C7 Z06 fender flares









After I drove around the block, as I suspected, I had slight rubbing on the inner wheel so I decided to come back and wait for the extended wheel studs install and grinding. I also stacked 3mm and 5mm spacer to see if the 3mm grinding on that closer edge would give enough space and it looks it will fix my issue. Worst case scenario I will still have it grinded and add 7mm spacer instead since I am already going with longer studs

If my mechanic tells me I can get away with more camber after the grinding, I will go ahead and change the camber to -2.5 upfront (from -2.2) since Trofeo R and NT01 tires work better with more camber up front and I already lose some of that camber due the fact that I have strut setup instead of a double wishbone
