Assume some will find their way here....

V6, V8 LT1 SS & now ZL1 LT4 1LE threads to read.

It just gets better and better...

HAHAHAHA!! Now my SS 1LE is officially a middle child just like me!

Yes, welcome, and WOW it looks like a fantastic package.

I'm quite interested in seeing if the DSSV's and wider tires are adaptable to our non-forced-induction models. I'm particularly surprised/impressed Chevy was able to fit even more rubber under the fenders.

did I hear correctly that the ZL1 1LE will come with 19" wheels?

Also, the tires are a new Goodyear Supercar 3R, in 305/30-19 front and 325/30-19 rear.

This makes the ZL1 1LE tires about 1" smaller diameter than other Camaro tires. Couple that with what appears to be minimal fender gap and the adjustable ride height of the DSSV's and it's going to sit with much less ground clearance than previous 6th gen's, straight off the showroom floor.

It's a half inch, not a massive difference but there would be some ugly wheelgap putting them on an SS 1LE or ZL1 suspension.


Front Tires
ZL1 1LE: (305*.3)*2+482.6 = 665.6 mm = 26.2"
SS 1LE: (285*.3)*2+508 = 679 mm = 26.7"


Rear Tires
ZL1 1LE: (325*.3)*2+482.6 = 677.6 mm = 26.7"
SS 1LE: (305*.3)*2+508 = 691 mm = 27.2"

That's a 1/4 inch increased gap...not nearly as bad as the 5th gen going from OE 20s to OE Z/28.

Don't forget the diameter delta versus standard Camaro's.

245/40-20 = 27.7"
275/35-20 = 27.6"
