No definitely not. My passenger front inside shoulder corded because I didn't rotate it enough! The last three tracks I've ran have been hard on outside drivers shoulder, and drivers side looked good so I didn't flip fronts much. As a result, the inside shoulder of my passenger side is where the majority of the weight/load falls on the passenger side during hard right corners (Watkins Glen, Mid Ohio, NCM). I had this happen once previously on my 964 when I didn't rotate NT01's enough. 2.9 is about perfect for wear. I'm super happy with the wear across the tread, just frustrated with myself for not rotating enough! Here are my two fronts.

some pictures and a video from the last event at the ORP this Saturday.
Car definitely feels better with -2.9 camber and 305/325s but I noticed the understeer is still noticeable on sharp corners. I adjusted my driving style and use a bit more trail braking to increase the front grip on those corners ![]() It was like a GM parking lot that day (2 Camaro SS, C7 Z51 and Chevy SS track package) and the video. Since it was a bit warmer that day and I couldn't fully get used to those ST47/ST45 compound completely I couldn't improve my previous best lap time (1:54.7) but did very close with NT01s (1:54.9) . I will see how the used slicks/R7s will do next time. Keep in mind though, NT01s weigh about 5 lbs heavier than the Trofeo Rs ![]()

What is the tire/wheel specs on the black Gen5 SS? I saw a set of APEX ARC-8's in person and they look better than in pics!

Probably because those 305/30/19 Trofeo Rs look wider than most tires, it's the sidewall design. These are, if I remember correctly, 19x10.5" +22 Apex ARC8s. He was running them with Z28 OEM suspension (DSSV)

Thanks, Yeah, they do look great on his car. I did not realize they had that much concavity until I saw them in person. Is he running a spacer up front?

I believe he was only using hub centric rings.

Thanks, funny because I was looking for silver, DGM or black but couldn't pass the deal that I found on this car. Blue really grew on me
