My girl was nice enough to drive the camaro down this weekend when we went to see the fam. Had a couple of moments down in San Antonio that have cemented my belief that I need fat rubber. The most exciting of these was while on the highway and in third I punched the throttle and the rearend proceeded to step out on me at 70mph. There were other similar experiences at slower speeds, but this one was what made the decision for me.
I also was lucky enough to have an older brother that is an auto enthusiast. As we drove into SA, the front brakes went metal on metal. Called him up and he just so happened to have so spare rotors and performance friction pads in the garage that he let go for $100, and he even did half the work.
So to go along with Big Mike's rims, I'll also be purchasing the 18" tire setup that atomicfusion has for sale. Hopefully Racemaster 325 DRs will be a large and sticky enough contact patch that I won't continue to have traction issues.

yea I have a 295/45 which is a little bit taller and im fine at stock height. Search that size here on tech. There is a page where I think the guy is lowered a little how low are you?
As for cars and coffe I wish I am out of town so won't be back in time. How often do they do it? I have only been one time like a year ago almost

Hell yea I understand, I have 295/45 on mine and I had to do a little bfh nothing to major tho. I drove it about 6 miles from the tire shop to the house and it ended up rubbing just enough to show me where to hit but not enough to do anything to my tires haha. So you may need to do a little bit also

Well I picked them up yesterday. Here they are! I can't wait to get them on. My DRs ship tomorrow. Running a 305 35. They're Nitto 555Rs. Now I just need to get the front tires. Probably gonna run a 255 or 265 since it's an 8.5" rim unless someone has a reason to do otherwise.

Those are so sick, and I agree with the size. I have a 245 on a 9.5 and it pisses me off. I had a brain fart thinking they were 8.5 for some reason. They have a little stretch to them but not ricer bad. I think a 255 will look sick with a 305 out back. Just make sure there within a inch in height of each other. Otherwise you will have your abs and brake light on like I do
