Jeremy's has been tearing up the AutoX courses lately with his 19x11" ARC-8 setup and 305 meats at all four corners.

Front: 19x11" ET11
Rear: 19x11" ET43
305/30-19 RE71R square
-2.7* camber front, -1.4* rear with coilovers and camber plates

Notes: the setup you see DOES NOT require a 5MM spacer because part of the strut mount was ground down about 6MM to allow for proper clearance. Negative camber is 1.5 degrees on EACH wheel and that for the most part eliminated the top tire poke (see pics).

The suspension is STOCK SS WITHOUT MAG RIDE. Wheel gap is roughly 2 inches currently which will be reduced to roughly 1.25 inches when the SG3 suspension is installed. This is the WIDEST rotatable combination that can be run currently on an SS. Ground clearance is roughly 6.5 inches in FRONT of the rear wheels and 5 inches in the BACK of the front wheels.

The 305 30 19 tires mounted on the 19 x 10.5 rims give you roughly 11.5 inches of rubber on the ground (section width is of course wider to the tune of about 12 inches). It is doubtful you could run a wider tire on the front without having alot of top tire poke regardless of how much negative camber you used.

Black gorilla locks were used and the stock APEX wheel cap was painted a satin black to match wheel. A big shout out to AMP (clearancing), APEX (quick delivery and superb support) and DISCOUNT TIRE (no installation damage).

I added the last pic showing where AMP modded the strut to get the necessary clearance. It doesnt take much here about 6MM.

I wanted to update this thread to provide more information in regards to ground clearance using this combination AFTER I had my SG3 suspension installed. GM documents that you should see about a 1/2 inch drop vs. STOCK suspension settings. The following comparisons were done using the THESE wheels and tires so I am lower than stock anyway because of the overall diameter of the 19 inch wheels and 305 30 19 tires.

In doing the measurements, I have 4 1/4" of ground clearance just AFTER the front tires (compared to stock 5") and 6" of ground clearance (compared to stock 6.5") just in FRONT of the rear tires. IF you use the old finger method, I have two fingers of clearance ABOVE the top of the rear tire and fenderwheel and slightly LESS than two fingers clearance above the top of the FRONT tire. That makes sense since the ACTUAL drop AFTER the SG3 suspension upgrade was 3/4" on the front and 1/2" on the rear.

I might also add that I upgraded the brake package on the car to ZL1 1LE Rotors and Calibers and I can report that even using the 15.3" front rotors and bigger SIX piston calibers, there are NO interference issues AT ALL with these wheels. Another note of interest in that the ZL1 1LE REAR calibers and rotors look to be nearly identical to the stock SS setup. Of course I wasnt expecting interfence issues either since APEX is great about testing for these things up front.
I will update with new pictures soon.

Pcormier66, do you run that hidden hitch setup to pull your track gear around? If so, how do you like it?

I saw that they are running a labor day sale but im still not sure if I want a square setup or just run 305 - 325.

Here are some updates pics AFTER AMP installed the SG3 suspension. As I indicated before it lowered the front of the car about 3/4 of an inch and the rear of the car 1/2 inch. These pics were also taken AFTER AMP installed the ZL1 brakes front and rear. No clearance issues with brakes or tires.

It's a curt hitch and yes I installed it to tow a small trailer for my wheels and misc. I've only pulled the trailer once when I picked up my painted wheels and it tows great. with a little weight on the tongue the ride quality improved, which will be a bonus for far away tracks. Trailer plus gear will be a little over 1000 lbs. I aim to keep the tongue weight less than 200lbs. Should do nicely.

With the curt hitch I did had to cut a small section of the bumper cover. About 1.25" square. It's so far under you can't see the cut.
