Shredding rear tires Okay this car haunts me in so many ways but working through the issues one by one as they arise and would never trade it for anything because it's my dream car. With that said it's a 2000 trans am, bought it with 19inch c6s in the rear and 18s up front, slammed, lo pro tires, just overall not my thing. I put Cooper Zeon RS3-G1
285/35R19 99W in the rear and have been literally SHREDDING my side wall. I swapped the shocks in the rear because it was thudding bad and I thought it was just that, kept knocking so immediately drove it back and took the lowering springs out no more knock, added maybe a inch or slightly more so I thought problem solved but nope still happening. I have never been a rims guy so never looked Into offset and all that jazz. The bottom of my quarter panel is stamped and I don't feel good driving it. Is there a solution besides ditching the spacers for the c6 rims and switching to a whole new setup? Not against it but just diy built this transmission twice so funds are a little tighter right now.
