for THIS reason, we need a GrandSport (at minimum) or do a widebody conversion.

580rwhp. They aren't DRs, but they hook very well. Here in Vegas, our roads are slicker than ANYWHERE. This tire is new, at least in this size, and all reports so far have been great, especially from the track guys.

only thing holding me back is tread life. How's that going ? I drive my car 2 days a week and 1 track day a month.

Just ordered some 305 35 20 NITTO 555R for the stock 2016 Z51 wheels from all my research These Nittos fit small more like a 295
BB Wheels online has them on sale for $299 each with free shipping

Why? 3-4 guys in this thread have said that something that big has rubbed from personal experience. My 285/35/20 rubbed both sides at anything lower than full height on stock bolts (rubbed at 1/2 height on the track and bumps, rubbed everywhere at full low). 1 guy says his worked but who knows how lucky he got with his suspension being perfect nor how hard he was running it.

That is 0.7" taller than my 285/35 hankook RS3s which barely fit and my rear has like a 2" gap between tire and fender. Have fun.

I can't answer that. I only have 25 miles on them so far and only drive it once a week.

285/40/18 MT SS fit and dead hook at stock power level.
If I were starting from scratch, I'd go with the Hoosier 245/40/18 on a 9 in. rim.
