Just got a new camaro that came with these tires. They are obviously very wide in back and small up front. My question is what kind of suspension upgrades will I need to do because of this. The front end of my car is very squeaky.

I'll need more information about the car. I assume the setup is a drag application, so you'll want to look into the parts that help with that - lower control arms, relocation brackets, torque arm, etc. But just tires along can go a long way.

if its not a Drag only car lose the MT's.. WORST tire ive ever seen.. they get awful traction on anything but extremely dry and hot weather. also My friend has had 3 sets of defective tires replaced in the past year... if its a DD with drag time look into the Nitto NT05 tires...

yes its not really meant for a drag car, i want to DD it. I figured the MT's sucks a$$ for what im trying to do but no other option at the moment. I got the car back from shop, needs outer tie rods and a shock is all messed up. ordering two (lightly used) ones from classified on here and getting the 11$ tie rods from autozone. Should tighten things back up. anyone wanna trade rims?
