Tire Recommendations

I posted this in the Tires and Wheels section, but I'm posting here as well if any of my fellow vert owners have any input to give.

Ok, I know there is a ton of discussion on tire sizes on this forum, but I've searched and searched and cannot find exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm about to order 4 new Michelin PS4S tires. I drive a 2016 Camaro 2SS Convertible A8 no MRC. I'm running MRR M650 wheels 10x20 11x20 staggered, Offsets of 23 and 43.

For these wheels, MRR says 285/30R20 and 305/30R20 are the correct fitment. Unfortunately, these tire sizes leave a pretty substantial gap between the wheel and fender. I understand I could lower the car and fix this issue, but with my c7carbon ground effects, I'm already about as low as I want to be so I don't scrape coming in and out of driveways.

Stock size for me on stock wheels was 245/40R20 and 275/35R20.
On tiresize.com, that shows me at a height of 27.7" up front and 27.6" rear.

285/30R20 and 305/30R20 show heights of 26.7" and 27.2".
Height difference vs stock is -1" and -0.4".

285/35R20 and 315/30R20 show heights of 27.9" and 27.4".
Height difference vs stock is +0.2" and -0.2".
This would be idea for me, as that would have roughly stock looking wheel gap.

I've read on here before that without MRC, 285/35R20 fits with no rubbing up front, can anyone confirm this? As far as the 315/30R20 is concerned, should I have any issues? I don't mind relocating the harness if necessary.

Thank you guys so much! The camaro6 community is awesome and you guys have no idea how much I appreciate having such a passionate group of people around for this kind of thing!

MRR is correct and they should know. No prob

The numbers that you mentioned are also good. No prob but 315 wide is the max. PS4S are the best but not cheap.

I went with the Nitto NT555 and only changed to 295 on the rear.

The SS chassis is awesome and I would leave it alone. But if you wanted to improve handling you could go with the 1LE suspension kit from Chevy Performance. You will sacrifice some ride quality.

Good luck!
