Think its finally going to happen!

[Ernie70]

Due to a nice Christmas bonus and the need for new tires , its looking like I may finally be able to pick up a new rim and tire set up!! I have been eyeballing the Gunmetal MRR M017 staggered set up for a while , and may pull the trigger next week after CHristmas. (Maybe Phastek might have a post Xmas sale LOL). Anyhoot , 2 questions I have that may be redundant , but I am playing rather safe then sorry.

1-WIll I have any rubbing issues going with the 20x10 and 20x11 set up? I am not lowered , as of yet anyway lol.
2-Tires I am looking at are the Continental Extreme Contacts. 275/35 front , 305/35 rear. Are these the correct sizes so I will not have issues with recalibrating the speedo?? Also , is this a good all season tire (located in Florida) , for she is still my everyday driver, and a V6, SO I am not looking for a super soft track tire or anything. But a good gripping everyday wear tire. Hopefully the Conti's meet that if anyone has experience feedback.

Anyway , sorry to drone on , but feeling pretty stoked lol. Appreciate everyone's feedback and advice as always!

First off, congrats on the BONUS!! Those were always nice to get. I'm retired now, so I don't get them anymore. lol. To your first question about the staggered wheels in those sizes, Those sizes are what come stock on the ZL1 and the 1LE Camaros, and the Z28, except that the Z28's are 19" instead of 20's. I ran those size wheels for a couple years on my Camaro. 20x10 + 23 offsets on the front, and 20x11 +43 offset on the rears, M228's. Again, stock specs for the Camaro's I listed, so you will be fine. Plus I'm lowered 1.25, no issues.
On the tire question I have been running those Continental's ever since the car was new, and still do on the front, 285/35/20's, love them, great tires. On the rear I ran 315/35/20 on my 11" wide M228's that were on there with no issues, you will be good with the 305's, a lot of the guys run the 305's, I have always ran 315's. Now on the front I have 10.5" wide wheels with the 285/35/20 Conti's, and 11.5" wide wheels on the rear with 335/30/20 Michelin's, still no issues. Here is a pick of the M228's I had on her before.

The only bummer is it looks like the Conti extreme DWS have an updated and replaced by the EXTREME CONTACT SPORT 02. At least the only I can find in the correct sizes ,and decent treadware lol.

Those ARE what I'm running now since they updated them. Much better tire in my opinion, great looking tread design too. Kinda of look like the Michelins on the rear. The older DWS's are what I used to run.

Ah ok... And you like the treadware and good wet traction? Just asking because she is my every day driver, and I am loking for the best I can get of both worlds lol.

Yes sir!! On the Conti's on the front, I have only had 2 sets of them in 9 years with 129k miles, so they don't wear out very quickly. Never had any "driveability" issues with the Conti's, that's why I still run them on the front. If Conti made a 335/30 tire, I would have them on the rear, but they don't. I also an in Florida in case you didn't see that. My Camaro was also a daily driver for 9 of the 12 years I have had her, so yeah, she has had her bouts of driving in the rain. I live on the east coast.
