Can easily do that as well as run a little less camber if you'd like

Yep, basic street alignment if I could get away with it. It'll be a while, saving for a house has halted any car stuff that isn't replacement parts for an aging WS6. Oh well.

Your car looks amazing, it's crazy how much of a difference just a set of wheels makes.

Personally, I might do a +6 offset as I could poke a bit with the Z06 flare and potentially shove a wider tires like a 315, but it's really give that a ton of thought - 305 is huge

Great look, do you have the model info and where you bought the c7 z06 flares from? Thanks

After a long bunch of measuring and debating and researching, I decided I was going to do a 19x11 and 19x12 setup on my SS 1LE. I've run a 19x10.5 APEX PS7 +22 before with a spacer and wanted a little sharper turn-in with the 305s, and wanted to have wider wheels in the rear as the 325s I had were a little big for an 11in wide wheel. I decided a 12 would be idea.

Unhappy that the only option for a 19x11 front wheels was to buy OEM ZL1-1LE wheels (at the time of my Forgestar order, the only set for sale was over $3500, they have since dropped to about $2750), I decided on ZL1-1LE offsets and sizes in an aftermarket wheel was a better deal. Forgestar pricing is very reasonable, even in caparison to recent pricing of the OEM ZL1-1LE wheels. Tire sizing is 305/30-19 Front and 325/30-19 Rear (Nitto NT01)

Additionally because of the low front offset, I was able to get the "Super Deep Concave" style in front (and rear), which just looks undeniably cool.

So I ordered thru Baca's Motorsports (Dan Baca), after I was referred to him by a friend (who is also on this forum - ShizzySupra). I'd like to say Dan was wonderful and I'd recommend him to anyone. I received them a little while ago, test fitted wheel-only and it was ok, then had the tires mounted. I initially was unable to get the car off the jackstands once the tires went on with the -3.0* camber I had from some previous strut mods. I was planning on ordering Moreno Motorsports/Gen5DIY Camber plates in the future but this sped up the process. I ordered them and put a 10mm spacer on the front wheels to get the car to Chase Race out in Duvall, WA and have them install the plates, remove the spacers, and re-align the car to -3.0* - Which all went well.

I like the

Current suspension mods to my car listed below
NOTE:
Items in *bold* would be required to run this setup with stock alignment. Items in *bold and italic* needed to run with aggressive alignments (I run -3.0* but this might apply to smaller increments too)

• C7Z06 front fender flares
  
• Ground down strut tabs
  
• Moreno Motorsports / Gen5DIY camber plates

I also have longer wheels studs but these aren't needed (I had them for the PS7 wheel setup and didn't remove them, because it's just extra work and doesn't harm anything to keep them)\

You don't necessarily need the Z06 flares, but the tires will poke a bit without them (see pics below)

You could also use a 3-5mm spacer up front instead of the strut stab grinding (but then you'd poke out even more, and I'd recommend the flares at that point)


TL;DR

Forgestar CF5V in Super Deep Concave in OEM ZL1-1LE offset and size
(19x11 +11 front / 19x12 +41)
Nitto NT01 in 305/30-19 front and 325/30-19 rear
No spacers, only minor strut grinding needed to fit if using a stock-ish alignment

Best looking setup I've seen so far. I found your pic on the Forgestar website and since then I've been researching how to get this setup to work.

Found the link to do C7Z06 flares: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=497622

If I run stock track alignment that is maxed out at -2.3ish in the front and -1.4ish in the rear, would I have any issues messing anything up at the track?
Any pics of how much strut grinding did you have to do? Would it mess with warranty?

Thanks for documenting it all. Super helpful, and I can't wait to order the same setup here soon!!
