How does the 275 look on a 10" rim ? Does it look stretched at all ?

I rotated the tires on my 2023 SS. I never jacked up a car before using a floor jack and jack stands, so my nerves were a bit on edge. All went well, though, due to the information and tips I read on these forums and what I saw on Lethal Camaro's vids.

I had previously installed ZL1 Addons lift points, which made jacking up the car really easy.

By the way, the lugs came loose very easy, which surprised me. I torqued them down to 140 ft/lbs per the manual and then tested breaking them them again. Much tougher now, so I'm feeling good about the work I did.

Curbed my one of my perfect wheels earlier this week

Totally my own fault. Pulling alongside a sidestreet curb to parallel park and just got too close. It's not horrible but ruined my week/month/year. Maybe a 6-8" scrape along the very outer rim lip, looks mostly like paint damage and not gouged aluminum.
Anyone know the paint code for the 2019 OEM "silver painted" SS split-spokes?
I can probably do a decent job repairing it if I had the right paint.

You don't have a staggered wheel setup?

I think he means just rotating the front and rear left to right, not front to back.

Thanks for the photos. I really want to go with 275's on the front, but I'm still not sure if they look right on a 10" rim.

Today was finally PPF day!

Since I've been driving a black car without for a year and with the 1LE tires no less. Needless to say there were a "couple" rock marks on the front of the rear fender. I thought about having to do paint correction, but then I thought, hey, my car is simply black, I wonder if they make black PPF. Sure enough, they do!

So the first side was a bit of a mulligan. I'll have to redo it.

The second side I think turned out really good! I'm happy with myself, and wondering why I didn't do this sooner now. I feel so much better about having it on there! I need to hit it with a hair dryer or something to maybe even out the finish a bit, but still as is, I'm happy!

Cleaned up the engine bay yesterday.

Correct. I just did left to right since my wheels are staggered and not square.

What cleaning product did you use?

Made some progress on the BMR suspension upgrades...

Still need to finish the other side, install the front and rear sway bars and end links, load the suspension, torque the bolts to spec, & grease the fittings. Did run into a question though... the toe rods came with a new BMR bolt, 1 for each toe rod, and 4 square lock out washers, 2 for each side. The new bolt is 19mm and I assume I re-use the OEM 18mm nut I removed from the OEM bolt but it seems to not really spin on without a ton of effort. Were the toe rods to come with 19mm BMR nuts for the 19mm BMR bolts? Instructions do state, "Tighten the inner bolt 80ftlbs using two 19mm wrenches or a wrench and socket", so, hmmmmm, lol.

Also, working on putting together install videos on everything like the previous videos, so, that makes the entire install much more exciting, lol.

UPDATE: Emailed BMR about the toe rod bolts and what nuts to use and they replied the bolts I have are not the correct bolts... sending me new ones. Not sure if the bolts got changed at some point since I bought the toe rods 2.5 years ago (yes, finally installing everything much later than anticipated lol)
