Hello everyone!

Thinking of getting a 19 inch wheels for the Zl1 to be used on track days.
Currently I am on the stock 20 inch with P4S which is a very good daily use tire.

Anyone did a similar successful setup? that includes the rims too.

not a single helpful reply on this thread? im guessing because this is searchable however ive have the same question for some time and havent taken the time to dig through all the posts.

Use stock ZLE 19" wheels with a 5mm spacer up front. Otherwise there are a million choices for 19".

Wouldn't that make the front wheels stick out a little too much?

There is a tiny bit of poke, but have to do that in order to clear the strut if you don't do a custom offset.

I'm finally, finally getting my Apex ARC-8's that were part of their group buy back in March or April. They are in the ZLE specs. I did that because I'm fine with a small spacer and the price was good for a lighter wheel, but still durable. I'm mounting up the 19" sized regular SC3's, again the ZLE specs f/r and will be running the combination in two weeks. Will post my feedback. I've run the stock 20" 's a few times and was very impressed with the grip and wear, so look forward to the new wheel set.

I run 19x11 square for autox with 305/30/19 RE71R tires. ET11 front after spacers and ET43 rear. Before I did the camber plates, to run these with -2.5 front camber I had to grind down the knuckes on the MRC front struts otherwise there would be contact.

I'm waiting on those ARC-8's as well. I was considering running the standard SC3's as I feel like they're a pretty good compromise between wear and grip on the track too. I know they have the 325/30-19 rears in the regular SC3's but I didn't see the 305/30-19. Are you planning on running a 295/30-19 up front?

When you add more camber, it looks normal/flush at the top. At -3.2 the top of my tire is slightly under the fender with the same offset. The bottom still pokes so I put some ZL1addons rock guards on the front.

Thanks! But any contact without the spacer?

1. No spacers in front, but limited to -2.0 front camber.

Stock camber is OK clearance. -2.0° without the spacer, it is tight. You could grind the tab on the strut if necessary. The 5mm spacer was the easy way out.
