Got my wheels and tires installed... And of course it was raining so I haven't had a chance to play yet....

Won't be able to do the engine upgrades until Late May or June probably. Won't get headers till mid May at least.

Front TopLine 20x10 ET20 - 275/30/ZR20 Yokohama Advan V105
Rear OE Creations 20x11 ET43 - 305/30/R20 Eagle F1 SC3

No rubbing plenty of clearance

Looks sharp. Plenty of meat on the back, too.

Ya I figured with the engine upgrades even if they are mild, the extra rubber will help.

Looks good. Almost looks like my ZL1! Those wheels look like ZL1 reproductions and yes there is plenty of tire on the rears.�� A question for you though, why didn’t you just put all GYs on the car instead of just the rear?

Saving a buck honestly, I bought based on price and performance relative to the higher end premium brands. Researched testing and comparisons. It really took me a couple of months of shopping around before I settled on the Yokohamas.

Those Yokohama's are rated barely under Michelin in performance and maybe identical if not slightly higher than the GY. They are just not nearly as costly.

I went with GY on the rears because I liked their performance and I am familiar with them already.

Tires ran me about correction: $900 total with tax.

I can understand!

Even though I'm far from swapping tires on my car for now (I've only got less than 900 miles on the car), I'm curious to see if Yokohama tires are worth the sub-$200 price (I'm thinking about putting a full set of these when I need them).

Truthfully, I would be hesitant to put them on the rears.

For the fronts they should be great.

But knowing the performance profile of the F1's like I do, You'll want to look at tread pattern on the Yokohama's before buying for the rear.

Try to match tread pattern with the F1's as close as possible, and check for the tread wear rating 220-280 should be fine if on the Yokohamas. The F1's are 220. The front Yokohama's I have are I believe 240 AA A

The idea being Softer rubber moar stickem

But some of the performance tests show the Yokohama on the front to be very responsive with a light touch to get them to move where you want them too.

IF you do go with Yoko on the rears you'll probably want the Apex V601's Similar tread pattern as the F1's. With a tread wear of 280 AA A.

I ALMOST bought the V601's for the rear, but decided to stick to what I knew best which was the F1's.

F1's are on sale atm for $266 at Discount Tire, the V601's are $300+

They do look great. They are probably a little wider than stock or the offset looks to be that they are a little more "flush" with the outside wheel wells? When I installed My Stance 20 X 10's they were much wider than the stock 8.5 wide wheels and I noticed right away with the tires being more "flush" the car got dirty very easily when going over even the slightest puddle of water. I end up installing the ZL1 Rock Guards, which helped a lot although the car still got more dirty than with the stock wheels. Still oved the look, just had to wash the car more often.
