I'll be considering this setup for my 1LT with street alignment (figure about -1.5 camber). I see Apex calls this a "direct fit" with 275/35 or 285/35 tires on non-ZL1 cars, so I assume there's no need for spacers.

So, I'm really just interested in how the tires align visually with the front and rear fenders. Some photos would be worth a thousand words in this regard.

Thanks,

This is not exactly what you're looking for, but I have a very similar setup.

SM10 ET20 wheels 19x10 wrapped with 275/40 19R square setup.

Very helpful, thanks! They seem to stick out a little bit more than I'd prefer, but still within reasonable bounds, IMO.

Wow, you must have gained a nice gearing advantage by sizing down to the 30 aspect ratio.

I probably should have listed the wheels specs:
19X10" ET20 APEX ARC-8 CAMARO WHEEL

[wilbur_xmas]

275/35 R19 mounted on APEX ARC-8 19x10" ET20 wheels front and rear on my old (grey) V6 1LE and new (red) 2SS 1LE. V6 1LE was running -2.4 camber front and -1.5 rear. 2SS 1LE camber is at -2.8 front and -2.3 rear. Tried to pick a mix of static/dynamic down-the-side shots to give you a better idea of... , ah who am I kidding I just wanted an excuse to post some cool pics.

For what it's worth the tops of the tires were basically dead-nuts flush with the rear fender when statically loaded on the grey car with the fronts slightly tucked due to camber. The tops are tucked on the red car front and rear, but I have some 295/35 R19 tires waiting in the wings that should bring the tire back out nicely...

This is super helpful man! No spacers on the old setup?

Correct, no spacers. Basically perfect fitment with no compromises out of the box!

I've been looking at APEX 19x10" ET20 as well to avoid spacers for my SS 1LE.
Plan to swap between stock wheels and these often once I start to track it.
Notice you mentioned you have 295's ready. Are they the RT660's by chance in the background? I've been wanting to run something square and close to 305 without having to run 11" rims and play with spacers.
Have you put 295's on a 10" rim before and if so have you seen any drop in performance/feel?

Thanks!

Yes 295/35R19 RT660s. A 10" rim is the minimum recommended by Falken for the 295 width, and they are slightly pinched. I don't have a great basis of comparison since the only other tires I have tried are the vastly inferior Federals, or factory runflats that come on the I4/V6 1LEs or base SS, but I just tried out the RT660s today at Thunderhill East and they forced me to recalibrate my brain for what speeds I could maintain through the corners. I couldn't ask for more from an easy rotatable setup that doesn't require lugs/spacers. Every aspect of the Falkens was an improvement: stiffness, feel, turn in, grip levels, temperature tolerance, wear, etc... with the sole exception being that the Falkens are heavier. The only slight issue I had was a minor rub on top tip of my rear splashguards but that self-clearanced quite nicely. That said, if I didn't already have the 19x10 wheels and get a stupid deal on the RT660s, I probably would have just thrown factory sized SC3s on the factory 1LE wheels and called it a day.

I miss my Camaro with the Apex wheels. Loved the poke of the 19x10 et20 setup.
