20 inch guys the Lambo Pzero PZ4 160AA os onsale for 198.00 this is not like the POS that came on the 5th gen SS.. for the front you can run a 285 30 20 from any of the zero line 220 AA rating should match ok..

305 35 20.. Just move Harness on drivers side best bang for the buck!

FOR THE 19" GUYS....

Literally 100s of choices and combos

305/325 Re 11s getting scarce now
305/325 Piolt 4s
305/325 Extreme Contact Sport
305/325 Ventus hankook v12
305/325 Super car 3
305/325 Bridgestone S007A
305/325 Pilot cup 2
305/325 GY Super Car 3R
305/325 Toyo R888Rs
295/ 325 Pilot super sport
285/325 Pilot Sport A/S A3
285/35 325/30 Fire Hawk Indy

Couple of of other 325s out there but may have to go down in the width for the front..

Could also run a 305 sq setup

305 sq:

Re71s
Kumho Ps91 146.00 ea. biggest bang per buck
Yokahoma Ad08R
Kumho V720 second biggest bang per buck just a tad noisy but handles just as good as MP4s dry but wet traction a shade lower not much
G force rivals
RE050A
PZero Nspec Porche
Falken Ak50
Summito HTZ
Cooper rs3-g1

I stuck the Kumho PS91 285 30 19 and 305 30 19 on for every day driving Discount matched Onlinetire.com of 560.00 for the set then I got a 15% prepaid credit card in the mail.

$476.00 for 4 tires.. Normally I wouldn't want 150 buck tire on my car but, I decided to give it a try after hearing from a guy rant and rave so much so we tried them on our SS that's modified w 615 to the tires. They hooked just fine, they are quiet, and wet traction or hydro planing isn't a problem like it is on goodyears or other street/track tires.

I wanted to try the V720 but, they got reviews that they could be a little noisy but what street/autocross tire isn't. Dry traction is way up there and wet traction is slightly less than PS91s.

1000.00 less than the MPS4s is well worth it..

I have the 345 30 19s R888Rs for track and mexico racing and 295 25 19 kumho ACR viper tires for the front..

I know everyone preaches MPS4s but the kumhos PS91s are to good of a tire to pass up for DD..

And sweeet looking ride!

Thanks, Eric, and no problem, happy to experiment when I can and share any info, I've learned a lot on these forums myself.

It's a rear portion of the main body harness, not the brake lines, see details here: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=485975

Thanks for the recommendation. I haven’t looked at those but will. Albeit it’s not a DD for me and I dont go out in the rain as is. But there can be pop up showers, or someone spill a glass of water in front of me lol. Are you running them?

I used them on my old car, a Focus ST with 330 tq to the front wheels, and wouldn't have too much trouble with them in 1st. Now I have the BFG Rivals on the Camaro, but it's the 4T, so I can't really say what they would be like on your car, but the grip levels are about the same as the RE-71R.

I got my new tires put on yesterday afternoon! 285/35R20 and 315/30R20 Michelin PS4S. I relocated the rear harness and have zero rubbing issues on the rear. The front is where I was worried, because I didn't want to run spacers. They fit without rubbing the strut, but the rubber nub that juts down through the strut towards the tire does rub a little. I'm going to keep a watch on it, but I've seen others remove the nub or run spacers. I don't think its anything to worry about though, I'm planning on letting it ride. Love theses sizes though, tons of grip, smooth ride! Thanks for all the help!

Yeah, after I get the wheels cleaned up tomorrow I’ll take some good pictures and upload them. I’m really happy with how they look!

Following... I want to run 285/35/20 and 305/35/20 on my non mrc 2016 SS. Would love to see pics if anyone is running duel 35s or is it better to do a 30 front an 35 rear? (Firestones)

Sorry guys, this Alabama weather is awful. It looks like there will be a couple days of sunshine after today's monsoon is over. I just can't put pictures up for you guys with my daily driver looking like it does after 2 weeks of near-nonstop rain. I will be washing the car tomorrow afternoon and uploading pictures then.

I think you can run a 305/35R20 on the rear if you move the harness. I haven't tried it, but it seems like a lot of people here have. I don't think you would have a huge problem with running 285/35R20 and 305/35R20. I would not do a 30 ront and 35 rear. Here is my train of thought:

Stock Tire sizes: 245/40R20 275/35R20
Heights: 27.7" 27.6"
My new setup: 285/35R20 315/30R20
Heights: 27.9" 27.4"
ZL1 sizes in 35: 285/35R20 305/35R20
Heights: 27.9" 28.4"
ZL1 30F 35R: 285/30R20 305/35R20
Heights: 26.7" 28.4"

I think that last setup would give you stabilitrack issues. That's a 1.7 inch difference in front and rear tire heights. I think you would be ok with doing 35s front and back or 30s front and back. I went with the 315/30s instead of 305/35 on the back to keep the tires as close to stock height as possible.

If only Michelin made the PS4S in 325/30/20... that size would be the ideal rear companion to 285/35/20 in the front.

Haha if you get a 12 inch wide wheel for the back with the right offsets instead of the 11 inch, the PS4S comes in a 345/30R20 lol
