8:02 This is the type of honesty a lot of UA-cam channels don’t have! Appreciate you brother 💪
Thanks Lethal, this is the exact video I have been waiting for you to do... can't wait to see how much room/Clearance you have on the inside of the wheel-well. Thanks again you have helped me out tremendously with the videos...
I'm enjoying all the mods you are doing to your gen six. Keep it coming. Thanks.
+Jesse Reinking thanks Jesse
Thank you sir. The damn rocks kicking up on the side of my car was a problem for sure.. got the rock guards and now I want bigger tires too... thanks again for the video. Good luck with it all.
Grest show. Love thouse big tires
Matt once again you have earned another degree of respect. I appreciate your honesty about saying that "you don't have money to spend" that you put those tires on a credit card. I'll tell you, every time you get something new, I'm left wondering how in the heck does he have money to spend like that? lol. all I gotta say, don't break yourself on the sake of the channel, but it is quite exciting to be on this journey with you... great video by the way.
+David Moreno I have cash saved, but not for the tires. I knew I was going to build my car so Aveda for the things I wanted. I had about 10k sitting on the side.
Always so descrptive
Matt,
Another good video !! Thank you for all your time. money and research you do !!!
+Mr1troyd thanks, my wife on the other hand... not a fan ;)
LOL....I feel your pain my man !!!!
Would like to see what they look like in the light from the side, front, and back
Do you know how to convert tire measurements to inches in width and height? Are you considering what this is going to to do your wheel bearings? If you change the height of the rear wheels, you are going to change the weight distribution of the vehicle which will affect the handling. Is your car so powerful that you just sit and spin the rear wheels when you punch it? I did something similar to where you are doing in my Camaro and it changed the characteristics of what the car does when the brakes are slammed on in an emergency situation. When you slam the brakes on going in the straight line with the stock tires, the car stays straight and comes to a stop. When I put on larger tires like you are doing, I slammed on the braked and because of the weight being shifted to the front to start with because of the increased height by even an inch in the rear, the car spun out. You keep saying you did a lot of math, Well I am interested in knowing what math you did exactly. If you want a car that handles better, then get a car that handles better. Don't take a car that is designed to handle the way it does and try to change that by as much as you are changing it by. Like you said, even the ZL-1 has only 305's in the rear. Why do you think the factory didn't put 315's on it? It's because it doesn't make sense from a safety point of view. That it why, in my humble opinion. These are what my experience was. YMMV.
Trading in my 19 Mustang GT for an 18 SS this Saturday due to engine issues within 100-miles. Didn't realize that it has run flats. Not happy about that. Tires on the 2018 Camaro are Goodyear Eagle 245/40ZR20 front and 275/35ZR20 rear, black wall, summer-only, run-flats. Salesman was clueless when I asked if there was room in the trunk for a spare if I switch to traditional tires. Since the vehicle is coming from another Chevy dealer and the had none on their lot, I wasn't able to personally confirm. Could you enlighten me? Thanks...
Just picked up a 2021 10 speed LT. 9 inch wheels. I know i am going to have to buy wider wheels eventually. for now can i get a bigger tire, than the stock 245 that is on it?
Another great video from Lethal
Always enjoy them all
Got a camaro as 2018
Hate the road noise on the stock Goodyear runflats
Considering replacing with a regular tire scrap the runflats and hopefully the road noise we can lower
Some say Michelin pilots
Any suggestions from you ?
Thanks
Hey Lethal. Was trying to decide the best tires for my car. I am most interested in being able to "dead hook" from a standstill. I was considering the Nitto NTO1 or NT555. Do you still standby the performance of the R888's, or have you since discovered another preference? Thanks for any help man. 2018 Camaro Zl1 stock.
When the new Z 28 comes out would you try making your Camaro compete with it
+daniel cantero probably not
Hey lethal! Question. I have a 2016 2LT RS with square 20s. If I got mRR m017 20x10/11 will I have issues with traction control or stabilitrak system. Don’t want to void my warranty or anything. Someone on the forum said I would have rubbing issue on driver side and also TC/stabilitrak problems. Is this true?
Some very cool info Matt. Always best to have as much meat under the rear you can get Unless it is going to be the one and only car you drive. On a side note, this is one of the reasons I like your videos over most on YT. The honesty. If it works. Great! If it doesn't you tell us that and the reason why. Thanks
+P-and-A Photos That's the goal of my channel ;)
LG,, I know yours wasn't a manual..
Just curious if the car was still tail happy with the 305/285 ?
I have a manual SS with 275/245 setup and am considering to change to 305/285, only if the car still remains tail happy like it currently is ?
I can get some pretty cool lift off oversteers while making tight turns and enjoy counter steering out of those.
It will always be tail happy at over 1000rwhp
someboyd can help me to know if tire 255/40 r20 its ok to put them in front camaro ss 2017. i put 275/40 rin20 and tire was damaged , i dont know for 255/40 rin 20 :,(
@@eldany061 it’s a pretty narrow tire
Good one bro !
I love it very good on camaro
hey Matt! i'm looking to replace my stock goodyear tires on '17 2SS with bf goodrich gforce comp 2 as's (all seasons). i know stock is 245/40/20 fronts and 275/35/20 rears...can i go up a size to get some more sidewall meat while still being able to use my stock black wheels without causing any speedo calibration issues? what do u think or up sizes can i do?
You could jump up by 10mm and be pretty safe on the stock rim size.
I have 245/40r20 on front thinking on going 255, should i go lower height tire for the front and what happens when u go down height. I have 285/35zr20 rear
Do u think I will rub with a 315/30/20 nitto 555 g2 on my 2018 1le?
Not sure
Dang early video couldn't sleep
+RENE I schedule them to go live for East Coast mornings the night they go live.
Hi Matt, Yeah if those fit they will really look awesome and give you some added traction, I was thinking when you put the larger tire next to the one already mounted it was not a true comparison because half of the distance taller it will also raise your rear axle, if the tire is 1/4" taller then it will raise your car 1/8" thanks and Nice tires.
+Newton Washinton yup
Anyone have any suggestions for a 2SS 2018 Camaro? Currently has Nitto NT555 G2 summer, I live in DC so we have rain and snow and I’d like to drive the car as much as possible during the colder months.. maybe not when it’s snowing obviously but raining. I know those current tires won’t ride well but that’s what they came with. Bought the car with them on there and they’re practically new; Camaro only has 3 k miles
Would you need spacers for 305 35 22s all around? And guards?
I called my local auto shop to order a new set of cragar wheels to fit my new Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ tires. They told me the 20 x 10's would fit the front 255s but would rub? How are you running 285 in the front?
So if I have 275 currently with a 20’ rim if I buy 305s will they fit with the same rim?
I got a set of those. 20x10 and 20x11. I've watched a few other vids and some guy had a set of 335/25 20s. I want to go with a 315/30. My car is not lowered. Beings how the r888 tire is taller, could i try a 315/25 or would i have any problems with the 315/30?
Putting a 20 or 25 tall on a high HP car defeats the purpose of going with a 335. Tire has no flex.
@@Lethalgarage 3mm spacers with 315/30 will fit. That's what I'll go with. And I'll move the wiring harness. I already had to replace both front light harnesses because of rodents. I dont want to have to replace another one. Lol
I have a 2018 Camaro 2ss. Does anyone else have a strange vibration at 55 56 miles an hour. I've been to the dealer about 10 times not exaggerating the car has had three rear ends and has 5,000 miles on it. I keep telling the dealer it's not the rear end because the vibration never changes it's always been the same since I bought the car it vibrates and makes a droning sound around 55 to 56 miles an hour. It only does it at that speed we have tried flushing the transmission balancing the wheels and tires and replacing the rear end nothing seems to help. The car is also an automatic. If anyone else has had this issue please let me know I would really appreciate it. Also I know it's not the torque converter problem because it only does it at that speed no matter what gear Im in even in manual mode.
Spacers are only for regular driving. I was doing burnouts one day with spacers and watched my rear tire go rolling down the street.
What tire is better BFGoodrich g-force COMP-2 A/S vs. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06
Nice vid. I'm waiting on my MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S XL's to get here. Spendy tires ($1350), but after watching tons of reviews I think they'll be worth it. Especially since I'll need all the wet traction I can get being on the Oregon coast... Hate this weather.
Hey Matt, when you said you worked with MRR to modify the offset set-up of your MRR017 rims to sit "perfectly" (Ref 2:08) did you mean they re-worked YOUR set specifically or are all MRR017 the same as what you have installed?
Was also interested in the 315 width. Do you perchance know if the standard zl1 would need the spacers as you have used on your SS? Thanks again and apologies for hitting you up the second time.
I have a 17 ss what do you recommend for daily use but still wanting to hit the track ?
For the 1le can you put regular tires on the original rim to replace the run flats or does the entire rim need to be replaced to use regular tires?
Thank you sir. I wanted to get a 285/30/20 front and 305/30/20 on rear for my MRR M017 to fit my Camaro 2019 RS.
Did you ever get the wheels and tires. I was looking for the same setup for my wifes 2019 RS as well
@@mando82jr I did. It looks mean with the wide tires. No rubbing or anything
@@norbertcanetejr.7328 Sick! U got any pics or vids? I was thinking of doing 305/35 and 285/35 but I think I'll just go the safe route and stick with 30 sidewalls. She's got a lead foot. 😂
@@mando82jr yeah I do. Idk about 35s tho without any spacers
Hey Lethal, So I daily an 18’ 2SS 1LE, got a little over 8K miles on it now. Here in Florida it’s been raining non stop. On the Eagle F1’s I feel like they don’t have as much grip on the road as they should while it’s raining. Would I have to stick with the Eagle F1’s for my next set of tires or is there another good set of tires for the 1LE for daily commuting? What would you recommend?
Check out the PS4s
Thanks for this topic. I'm looking at buying wheels soon and the info that results will really help me narrow down the offsets and tires I choose later.
Should have gotten the new R888 R's . Noise has gone down a bit.
Does anyone know the best square set up thats flush with wheel wells?
+JIMBO SLICE it's more about the rims width and offset. You can call almost any rim company and get it dialed in.
+JIMBO SLICE but for square I would.got a 19" rim
Will some 2019 camaro ss 20inch stock rims fit a 2017 camaro lt ?
you've got "balls ".Thats hot rodding @ it's finest.
I totally agree with your stance on your Car at the end their Lethal.
As I'm pretty sure this is going to be my next car, I've been watching all your videos.
Love the 1LE wheels, but was a little disappointed when I saw that 305 tire doesn't perfect on the back rims, and there's not really enough space for a 315.
Saw the update and that you got it figured out. Hope it works.
+kjparlay it worked
Smaller rim , bigger tire. Look at the dodge demon coming with 315 but it's on a 19" rim or 18".
+Cory Kilpatrick Sounds like they are going square. The demon might actually do okay on a track.
video and camaro talk aside, looks like u need sleep bro.. dnt drain ur self out too much. love all the helpful vids tho bro, #camaroislife
+NMEKINGS559 ha, I never sleep
LethalGarage what do you think about the Continental Extreme contact Dws 06? My biggest gripe pro charging my 2017 ss. And the stock good years are like ice skates now. From what I hear guys whom own hellcat's / crowd crashing mustangs. Are running the dws 06 and they like it.
Or a fan. I know a few people who got them. They sold them and got PS4s
They're a decent tire, but not as great in handling and cornering as other all season tires. Check out tirerack for comparisons.
Hello Matt, I always wanna up the rear to 305 or even 315, and the front to 275, 285 ...Anyway.Regardless, one thing keeps bugging me is how to recalibrate the speedo. I know a lot of ppl say 1-2 percent difference in diameter is nothing. But at 200, 250 kmph, it's not small. (Sorry Canadian using kmph)Do you know any way to recalibrate the speedo? Honestly, I currently don't even know if the speedo comes from the rear or the front :((Thanks in advance man. Great videos.
+Son Nguyen You would have to find a shop who can calculate the difference.
Hi Matt, the difference isn't hard to calculate. How to actually change the speedo is what I am having trouble with
Nice. Even bone stock our cars make so much power the factory tires done hook up well. I'll be awaiting your next video and findings
+ProjectRecon1 I will be awaiting it also
Hey Matt i was thinking,... I know that's scary,... Anyways something that may be interesting to do, is make a water puddle in your driveway and measure the width of the water mark your rear tires make and then when new tires get put on do the same to see the actual size increase of pavement contact.
+Newton Washinton a little late for that... but I marked them with chalk and measured.
Lethal Ok Thumbs up!
Great video. As well as the install too. I ended up with the Pilot Super Sports running with 305/30 and 285/30. Props on sticking to the build YOU want and not what others opinions are. As a fellow enthusiast (maybe fanatic) it's great just seeing each persons creativity come out and be reflected in their car. Awesome job.
+Tw1sted LT1 Thanks man. Also those are good tires
Lethal yeah they are. I wanted the PSS 04s but alas aren't out and I had to get tires. So far they are much better than the goodyears
Lethal
Ps.
The Michelin seem to fit great at the 305/30/20 didn't see any kind of stretching and all looked like a great fit.
Do u have to change stock rims ? If u go above 265
Sounds good can't wait too see them on the car.
If i put some 285 on a stock 17 SS would it be fine , or is a recipe for chipped paint? Also, am I fine with 305 in the rear without a spacer ? thanks
Murkavelli did you ever get this figured out? I’m shopping for tires soon.
@@joshuasantos5897 I went with Nitto Nt555 g2 tire 285/35/20 in the rear which was as wide and big i could go without rubbing the inner wheel well. and 245/45/20 in the front which is stock size for the front
I was looking into doing 20x9 front 20x10 rear. I should be ok then right?
Bro! Can you tell me where did you get that white camaro diecast on your background display? It's so cool and I want to get one. More power to your channel!
+ryanyentao888 It was a nightfall grey model I painted white
Lethal that's great! Can you let me know how you did it?😊
+ryanyentao888 I took it apart and simply.painted it;)
@8:11 your honesty is refreshing
How do u make.t shirt
Sweet video, nice work
Great video! Where did you get that model camaro btw?
+Al H I ordered it from GM
Kids were way too loud! Lol
That camaro is STOCK. Haha
+Rawbird is it?
👌
👍
Did shaving the offset compramise the intregrity of the wheels?
+David Garza they did not, MRR built in extra room on their hubs
Lethal 315/35/20 on the back without spacers? the car is not lowered or anything, think itll fit boss?
+David Garza No, 315/35/20 will rub on the driver side
Lethal darn it, the dude at the tire shop at american wheels i believe it was called, said it would fit, without spacers. Said they have done it to other camaros, i dont think he knew what he was saying
+David Garza it depends on the wheel and your offset
try nitro info 315 35 20
invo
good luck, great looking tire. If they work out what are you putting on the front?
+Pete nastyZL1 285/35/20
I have a 2019 Camaro RS 1LE and I’m running 315/40/20 for the rears and I bought 275/40/20 for the fronts but didn’t fit so I ended up buying 255/45/20 for the fronts instead
It didn’t fit so you went with a taller tire?
@@Lethalgarage No I just went with stock for the fronts which is 245/40/20. I went slightly bigger with 255/45/20 but it was hitting my coilovers. I had to return them and just went stock, I'm running Toyo Proxes ST 3'S.
