Funny you say that because my buddy's WS6 has the same size tires and wheels as mine, and his rear is 27" compared to my 26.75" rear, he can fit 2 fingers compared to 2.5 on mine. I wonder if the t/a is a little different the Camaro maybe?

Also i want to note that if the fenders are rolled that will make a difference in "finger measurment". For whatever reason my driver side fender fold was more angled downward while my passenger one was more flat. When i rolled them i made them even and gained "finger clearance".

The fenders are a different shape. Trans ams are wider.

Kind of a funny thing here, but ive noticed most modern muscle cars have a 2 to 3 finger gap stock. Have you ever noticed how the newer ones seem to fill the wheel well better? I know I sure have. Where as the older Mustangs and Camaros had more the 4x4 look stock. Mine was like 4 to 4.5 stock lol

But, then some of us can never leave well enough alone

Of course it looks better lowered even though it looks good stock lol. I own a 2016 Mustang as well, and it's just like the new Camaro in that regard. My Mustang bone stock has about the same gap as my 2000 Camaro with the BMR springs. Crazy how far things have come on these cars over the last 15 years lol
