I would expect to see a bit more clearance with 10mm spacer (+12mm effective offset) and -2.6 camber though. For someone who wants to avoid grinding or camber plates +10 or +11mm offset might be a bit better maybe. This is how mine looks with 8mm spacer and -3.0 camber (with grinding of course)

What's interesting to me is how much farther inboard the spot welds on your struts are than mine. Mine are right up against the edge, where it looks like yours are a few mm inboard.

Right? I was gonna say that then I thought it might be just the angle but I think you're right. Mine seems like it has some advantage there (for further grinding if ever needed)

I think if APEX or someone offers the OEM ZL1 1LE fitments, there will be buyers. |

Great information Cem. Remember when we were asking this stuff 8 months ago? Seems like a lifetime. This nails everything down.

I am not sure if they would be willing to introduce a set that requires some modification, even though you, I and a few people wouldn't mind doing that. BTW, some tracks really hinder the rubbing issues if the layout is relatively flat with not so many elevation changes, off camber-tight corners etc Sean (seanblur) mentioned that he had some rubbing issues at the Laguna Seca with those wheels (he only had -2.6 camber IIRC) Glad you liked it

For the record, I've no problem doing some inner fender / strut massage in the name of proper fitment and performance. |

Still though, without some spacers and/or grinding it's hard to tell if they will clear. Quote:
If I remember correctly, Emilio from 949 Racing also tested to see if there's any performance benefits at the track by going with a slighlty wider tires for the same size tires and couldn't find any quantifible amount. The feel might be a little different of course but I was running 305/325 -30-19 on 10.5" and 11 " tires and didn't notice anything wrong with them.
