305/ tire fitment on factory wheels. Big problems!!!
I stuffed some used 305 NT555 drag radials on the camaro and this is what happened. Stay tuned and I’ll show you how I repaired the harness and relocated it. Very easy relocation process. No wheel spacers required.

After I soldered and repaired the wire, I relocated the harness here.
Stupid location for a fuel pump harness in my opinion. Sorry I did not take the pictures in landscape. |

How do thwy hold off the hit. I have a whipple and over 600 to the wheels. Im not sure if i should get a set of those for the strip or stay with the Toyo R888R. they are considered an autocross tire, they stick.

At 20psi tire pressure I bogged off the line from a 3500rpm launch. I clutch kicked after the bog and it barely chirped the tires. They surprised the hell out of me. If I slip the clutch at 5500rpm it does great. They stick a little better than my mickey Thompson’s did in my opinion. |

The new nitto NT05R are the newer drag radial version. Friends 900whp c6 runs them and he says they hook.

Newb question here:
The rub issue is from putting the 305’s on the OEM SS rims and having an offset problem, correct? I’ve got a set of MRR FS01’s with 285/305 MPS4S’s on order. PK said they are direct application. Are there any rubbing issues with my set-up? Thanks for helping calm a newb who is setting up his first performance car in almost 20 years... (And first new car in 12.)

if you are lowered and have a 305/35 or higher in the rear you will rub if you do a 305/30 you will be fine

Krops: Thanks for the info. My vert has MRC and is still bone stock. (Only 6 miles on it.). No plans to lower.
Just checked my invoice. I did order the 305/30/20’s for the rear. The car is at the dealership right now getting the last LPO’s done, (6-piston front Brembo’s and matching red rears, kalahari knee pads.) Hope to have it in the morning. New car, impatient owner!

I don’t know about all tire brands but you can run 305/35 tire size. 5mm spacers are $30 and it did not scrub. On a side note NT555r radial does not come in a 305/30 Last edited by Slidewayz-Jones; 06-19-2018 at 06:37 PM. Reason: Added note |

Stupid stupid questions, but what does that wiring harness control? I wonder if that is the cause of all my CEL's and Rear End/Rear Axle warnings coming on cus I do rub a bit on that side.
