I know that SPOHN above said 30 series for anything over 265, but what do we think about:
1) Car lowered about 1", will put something between -2.5-3* of camber up front, -3* out back
2) Front: Hoosier or GY Supercar 3R 275/35/18
3) Rear: Hoosier or GY Supercar 3R 325/30/19
I heard from APEX that they have a 9.5x18 and 11x19 option. The 19" rear should be good so as to not mess with control arms, and Chevy seems to like a staggered set up anyway (no idea why but I also noticed that BMW's M3/4 is now staggered where I believe they used to be pretty square).
Goodyear says that a 11" wheel is OK for the 325, but Hoosier recommends 12-13.
If I beat up fender liners I don't care, but I'd need full radius for steering lock.
Thoughts and experiences appreciated.

LOL! I always thought there was only one goal: Smoke as many cars on track as possible while keeping the greasy side down, and get the associated highlight reel on PDR for sharing with friends!
