Thanks.

For sure. I have a set of 19" wheels with stock offsets and 275 RE71r Bridgestone all around.

Stock shocks right now.

Strano front sway bar.

That's it.

Thanks for the quick response! So you went with the same width and offset as the stock rear wheel on all 4 corners? How did your lap times compare to stock SS 1LEs? I would like to get my 1SS manual as close to a SS 1LE as possible with the smallest amount of change!

No, this is a F-Street setup. The rules require him to run the stock width wheels at each location, it means 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears.

Correct. There wasn't a stock 1le there. The one the gm guys were running in cam c had the zl1 1le mutimAtic suspension on it.

Did 275s fit on the front 8.5" wheels?

Yes, the 275 RE-71R fits on a 8.5. It's a pinch, and whoever mounts your tires really needs to know what they're doing.
