Question Camaro simillar wheel & tire set up for our GT's?

Hey Guys,
Do you think we can imitate the Camaro 1LE tire wheel set up, maybe this will improve our GT handling: with 285/35R19 tires mounted in 19x10 front wheels and 19x11 rear tires?

I run 285's square on my Boss's stock wheels without any real issues. It should help add some grip, plus luckily the GT's are setup for square from the start so I doubt you would have oversteer issues.

Hi Brandon,
I guess you have 9x19 front & rear 9.5x19 or 10x19?
So your front 285" improved your handling compared to the stock 255"? NICE!!!

Improved turn in but also some gradual oversteer do to the stock setup of the sways.

So the 285s fit well in your front 9x19, I though that they only fit on at least 9.5x19,
I might try them on my stock brembo wheels

Depends on who you go with, I am all seasons on and the Conti DWS works on a 9 inch.

275/40/19 square over here. Love the new grip and handling. The oversteer at the limit is much more controllable versus the PSuckos. I have Michelin Pilot AS +. Sidewalll isn't quite as stiff so when I'm going into a corner too fast I get a nice blip of understeer then comes right back after the speed shaves off.
