So what's the deal here? I hear about guys running 315's all the time, but look what I found after running at Road Atlanta last weekend. I'm running 305/30/18 V710's on stock speedlines and stock suspension on my 2003 ZO6. It only happened on the drivers side so obviously the left side of the car was loaded more than the right. Has anyone seen this happen before?

i cut mine out

just let it happen, its no big deal. when i bought my car, the inner fenders were actually worn all the way through. no biggy.

Damn. I was thinking you guys were going to try and convince me to buy some kind of super high spring rate upgrade. I'm pretty easily persuaded ya know.

rasrboy

Nope! I was just gonna tell you to strap in some sand bags in the passenger seat to balance you out.

sperkins

You aint right.

looks normal to me! Run em' and before you have probs with sides of tires, the tires will be wore out! Go on a diet!! LOL, sand bag to even weight? sure, why not!

It seems like the assembly fixture was off a little bit on the C5 Z06. The rear subframe is a little bit to the right on most cars. You can raise the car on the frame, loosen the 4 big nuts holding the sub frame on, then pry it over while someone tightens the nuts down. Some autoxers want every last bit of camber so they do this to even out the max camber on both sides. You just have to get an alignment after. I gained .1 or .2 degrees of camber.

my 335s USE TO RUB. Dont any more

and What Inner Liner of the Wheel wells? Did vetts come with those?

My A3SO4s did rub w/1 deg. neg camber, on stock C5 wheels. Used 1/8" fabricated aluminum wheel spacer which still allows hub to engage wheels. i have one spacer left(not sure what happened to the other.)
Now I run 315s on 17" ZR1 wheels all around and do not experience rubbing.

Stock ride height?

sperkins

Yep.

What's odd is that I ran just as hard and just as fast at the same track this summer on a set of 305/35/18's and I didn't have this problem. The 30 series tires I used last weekend are smaller in diameter so I can't understand why it's happening now.

Scott,

Please let me know about future events. I'm deployed right now but should be back in mid-February.

just remove the liners when they disentigrate. As long as they aren't eating to the inner tub (the fiberglass part BEHIND the plastic liner), no harm is being done.

Hey Greg. Good to hear from you again. I'm registered with NASA to run again at CMP in Feb. I ran with NASA the last half of 2008 and loved every minute of it. We ran at Road Atlanta a couple of weekends ago and had a blast. Next event there is March 14-15. You should check them out:
