ZL1 track tires/wheels

Cremaster · 08-22-2017, 08:25 AM

I'm curious as to what everyone thinks is the best track wheel / tire setup for the ZL1. I've read some posts but am not sure of the differences between camaro models.

My experience has been with the stock tires. I wore through the front tires on the outside edge at 7000miles and 4 track weekends. Mostly my fault for not increasing neg camber soon enough - now 2.5.

At the track there is definitely understeer on longer corners which I believe caused the outer wear. Since this is my daily drive / track car I really should get another set of wheels and tires. I'll be looking for a reasonable grip all season tire and another set of track tires which I would drive to the track.

After reading different posts regarding setup I'm leaning towards a set of Apex 19inch wheels with R888r's - 295 and 305. I would think a larger front tire, along with the neg camber of 2.5 (max unless I get camber plates) should help eliminate the push and save the tires. I've had experience with r888's in a miata and E46 M3 so I have a feeling this should be a good tire.

Thoughts? What is your favorite setup for the ZL1? If this has been covered before, I apologize. The search function sucks on this site...

If you're looking for the absolute best wheel set you can get your hands on, we're here to help facilitate

Of course everyone will have their opinion or preference for what they feel is the best option, but with our ability to custom make any Forged wheel to virtually any size and offset, matched with the high quality materials we use and the engineering behind them, what you get at the end of the day is the highest quality custom made to order wheels in the world. We are a TUV certified manufacturing facility and along with that comes wheels that we build and engineer to go above and beyond the ability to pass that TUV test. TUV testing is the most stringent and difficult tests to pass so it's a good yardstick to gauge how capable a wheel is.

There are lots of track wheels out there that fits everyone's personalized budget. While our Forged wheels may be pricier, our FlowForm wheels pass that same TUV test that our Forged wheels do, so if you're looking for a lower price point option, FlowForm wheels are a great option to consider.
