Yeah, I'm going to get mine next month I think, I wanted 18s, but these cars look so sinister on 17x11s I just can't help myself. Plus then I get to keep the stock look, from the side anyway. Now LS1 SS spoiler and LT1 SS hood and my appearance mods will be done and I think I'll have a badass looking car

yea i agree i want 18's too but tires are pricey. tires are cheaper with 17's so im stayin with th 17's. and im also getting a ls1 ss spoiler and hood dont know yet either lt1 ss w/ ls1 style or ultra z hood.

They do fit, seen a few guys autocrossing on them.

I run 10.5" with 315s at all 4 corners for autocross. It looks mean as hell on them. No spacers, but an aggressive alignment helps tuck the tops of the tires in. Running -2.2 degrees of chamber.

I think I have a new hero LOL your car looks great. I really want to get 11s so I can try Kuhmos new tires in a 335/35 rear and 315/35 front. I dunno if they are suggested for a 10.5" wheel, otherwise I'd be all over the TTMs in 17x10.5"s they look perfect on our cars

But great looking car

Those are 315 rears? They look really wide.

Thanks! The fender-well rubbing only occurs at full left or right lock in the paddock, so is not as issue on track or during autocross. The only trade-off is that they force me to use 2.5" instead of 3" ducting for rotor cooling.

Sticky fat rubber is a handful on the street though - I tow them to the track.

I would not try 335s on the 10.5, but Toyo's R888 show 10.5" as the minimum. They worked pretty good, but I would have rathered a V710 or A6, but it was a spec tire in a series I ran this year.

If you do not mind changing tires yearly, the R888 is street legal and pretty sticky.

Yeah thats kind of why I want to get at least an 11 in the rear. I love the look of big fat tires all around, but I still like a staggered look. So IMO a 335/35 rear and a 315/35 front would look pretty good.

And I don't drive my car very much and I have heard that the Kuhmos XS will get flat spots if it sits for a period of time. So I think my first few sets of tires will be regular street treads and I'll see how I like the 11s up front before I get too crazy and put sticky tires all around and have it end up being too much on the street.

Your car looks great, the white with the grey wheels is perfect. Not to flashy, and just a classy look.

I'm still waiting on an answer from OEwheels and next month I'll make an order

I think since you have a Camaro I would look at 315/275 for a the staggered look. You will have a bitch of a time getting 335s under the Camaro. You will need to roll the lip, a perfect centering with an adjustable PHB, cut the bump stops ( I relocated mine in board) then beat the Jesus out of the inner fender sheet metal, then maybe they will fit. The Firebird is a little wide, but I do not think a 335 would fit all that easy under mine.

Here are a couple pics with a 315/275 stagger under mine. They look really good that way. That is my street set up.





I used to have staggered ZR1s too. The rears were a custom offset though. 40mm.

Turnin20s

iTrader: (12)

Where did you get custom offset ZR1s?? I need a -6 offset, but for now I was planning on running 50mm offset all around on a 17x11 ZR1 with a 2" spacer in the rear (4" narrowed rear axle) I'm planning on a mini tub so I'm not really concerned with fitting a 335/35 out back. I can't disagree on the staggered look, it does look good on these cars, but I'm looking for the more "pitbullish" look. Super wide and low stance just looks amazing on these cars IMO, and yours has made its way towards the top of my list as far as that goes. I know that 315/35s on all 4 corners may be a bit much for a street car, but it just looks so aggressive that I have to give it a try for myself, if it doesn't work out I'll sell my front wheels to my brother and get set of 9.5s for the front.

I appreciate the info, and I'll see how the 315s fit before I go to a bigger tire. BTW a watts link is on its way for my car so centering the rear will not be a big deal once I get everything dialed in. But I'm sure it will take its fair share of beating to get those 315s under it not too big of a deal though its down for the winter for quite a few other mods and I know my way around a welder and a grinder LOL

If you are modifying the rear with a mini tub, you will be fine then. It will require the offset lower control arms too, but you have the right idea and seem to know it will take mods. If you are doing all that, I would look at getting a 12" rim to make the tire work and look better.

The different offset ZR1 was done by having 5-6 mm milled off the back of the rims. I looked at the amount of extra material that was there and took it too a machine shop. They just had enough meat to work with. Not sure if all of them would have that much extra on them.

^^ That last pic makes it look like the front wheels stick out quite a bit. But that car looks amazing, I wish I could have found that color.

I PM 2 of the members from OE wheels and neither one has returned them, I wonder if they won't sell a complete set of 17x11s. They sell 18x10.5s for all 4s.

yea i think cuz of the hard turn in the pic the car weight is shifted to the side making it appear that way. but car does look awesome, and it can also be those wheels too. the design or offset might be off a lil from the zr1's.

and oewheels would ship 4 c4-zr1's 17x11 i got a quote last month for like $557.60 shipped but thats for the black w/ machined lip. i pm'd Scott from oewheels. he responded in 2 days so im sure they will get back to you asap.

~I figured that it was the hard cornering making it look like its sticking out, but the offset does look like it sets the wheels out just a touch farther than the zr1s, just my opinion I honestly don't know the offset lol

Well hmm about OE wheels, its been about a week and I still haven't heard from either one of the guys, Lance or Scott I have talked with them before and they got right back to me. Maybe they are busy with orders from their recent sale.

I think I'm going for silver since everyone and their brother has black wheels now. But I think I may have a buddy of mine paint them dark gray or a gunmetalish color and do up some custom airbrushed center caps

Are you going to get deep dish wheels for all 4 corners?
