SSShushu...spacers if necessary...I'll have $1300 sitting around for nothing otherwise. the Does it fit thread recommended like53mm offset for z06 wheels. Others say up to 56. All I can do is try. I'll be running 18's and am going to try the BFG KDW-2's. Need a daily tire that can drive 200 miles if necess comfortably.

You won't have problems with the ABS as long as your tire diameter is the same both front and back, which, of you are running the common combo of 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 in the back, it won't. And since those tires are the same height as the stock 245/50/16s, you won't have speed problems either.

Thanks for the info Manny! Would it be possible to run a 245/17 on the front and a 315/17 on the back and still maintain the ABS and speedo? I'm thinking that the back wheels would be heavier and could cause some ABS problems. Does a 315/17 tire clear on a Trans Am? Thanks for the help!...Andrew

Captain Insane O: I live about 30 miles away from you over here in good ol' Taylorsville, IN. (About 10 miles north of Columbus.) There are alot of wicked cars in Shelbytucky though. Are you in any Camaro clubs? I'm looking to get into one, and (hopefully) if the car gods smile upon me I'll have my rig ready to hit the show circuit by next summer. By the way, your car is SWEET!
