Default Will this set up work??

Hey guys I have a 02 camaro SS, stock height , stock brakes/calipers and stock rear. Only suspension parts that I will have are LCAs and a torque arm. I wanted to know if these OE wheels will fit ? If so what mods or spacers and offset will I most likely need .. The tires I plan for the back are Mickey Thompson ET streets , 305 35 18 and some falken 255 40 18 in the front .. So will they work?? Thanks

Hi all, Ive just bought my first f-body(pewter 99 z28) and want to change the stock wheels/tires to something more substantial. Ive been looking at OE wheels 17x9.5/17x11 staggered set of zr-1 replicas with 275 40 front and 315s in the back. Car has all stock suspension and am wondering if the 315's will rub? Also any pics of pewter z's with this wheel/tire combo would help. Thanks

Most people go with 275/35/18 and 295/35/18 on the rear. Not sure on fitment with your tire specs.

Gre just get the 17/11 s in the rear , and get the 295s first, later if you decide to do a 315 then do it! I think most people here have to do the BFH mod on stock suspension.. Idk though! Make your own thread sir and stop high jacking people's threads bump for my question ..

No problem bro it's all good !! But a 295 should be fine on a 9.5 wheel .. Or a 10.5-11 wheel .. I guess if I was you I would prolly just get the 11 inch wheel with the 315 just go all out !! Bump fOr my question that set up? Or should I just go 315 too ????lol

I would just call OE wheels and discuss your setup
