Why not just put the OEM wheels/tires back on your car? Chalk it up to a learning lesson. Expensive sure, but it is what it is.

Pointing this out so you know what the possibilities are. Also, like everyone has said, never cheap out on the rubber. If you have to choose between spending money or wheels or tiers, always choose tires. It not only affects how well the car handles in wet and dry driving, but also how loud or quiet the ride is as well as their durability (saving you money).

That part of it is normal.

Your tire sizes are fine. I have the same tire widths on mine.

I am using Eagle F1 SC3's on the rear (which are the stock tires for that setup) I'm using Advan V105's on the front.

Another thing are you sure your offsets are correct? 20x11 ET43 20x10 ET20?
Noted!

Offsets are correct yes

Preliminary research shows your wheels are rolling bricks they weigh so much. If the websites are somewhat correct, your wheels weigh about 37-40lbs each, that's not even including the tires. Unsprung weight is the worst weight, and you basically attached anchors to your car.

I've never even heard of these tires before, so I did a quick check on the atturos... Dude these are tires made for light trucks and SUVs. You've got a 455hp high performance sports car, and you've made it to where the car can't even put power to the ground effectively anymore.
They're also made for muscle cars. Lot of challenger guys use them. No need for the anger and to be trashing the guy.

Was looking at some Chevy OEM wheel specs for my '22 Camaro, and they weigh between 26-28 lbs. OP's replacement wheels are 43% to 53% heavier than my OEM.

Looked at a few lower-priced replacement wheels on Discount Tire site and they are 33-34 lbs. OEM for me. .

KikyoLamb, I’m quoting this response for comparison. The factory wheels might be lighter but they’re 8.5” wide. (My wheels actually weigh less than the 8.5”)

Here’s my setup, which have the wheels being very close to the factory LT1 wheel. I weighed these using the bathroom scale.

Ace Alloy AFF05 20x 10 25 lbs
Ace Alloy AFF05 20x 11 26 lbs

Michelin PS4S 285/30 27 lbs
Michelin PS4S 305/30 30 lbs

yes, but ET's for the front/rear wheels are different.

Also with the 305 in the rear of a non ZL1 or SS 1LE, has the factory started moving that harness that everyone rubs raw and causes the CEL? Been out of the game a couple years, so also look into if you need to relocate that harness before you rub through it with the wider setup.

305/30R20 will not rub even if they didn't move the harness

305/35R20 will rub

315+ will rub

Damn this is a nice update. Your set up won't get much better than that for street driving. Sick! Post pics when it's on the car
