315 square set up on 1st gen Camaro
 
Anyone have pics of this being done? Thinking of going to a 315 or 305 front tire and 315 rear. I will be using extended arms for the front to keep the suspension geometry designed in to my subframe. Only people I can find are Blu Balz and the Gulf SCCA CP Camaro. Seeing Hobaughs 65 Vette has made me rethink the build and want a little more tire up front.

^^^ what's that?

Longer control arms. Rather than using backspace on the wheel to extend the track width you can use a longer control arm to keep a zero scrub radius.

So you're going to flare it in some way then?

The new Sutton / SpeedTech subframes people are installing right now will be having some 315 squared setups I bet.

Larry Woo has this on his 68 and it looks very nice.

His fenders are widened and he has an aftermarket subframe.

If you are referring to extending your UCAs & LCAs, that will cause more problems than it will solve AND you will still have to widen your fenders and get an aftermarket subframe as previously mentioned.

Why do you think you need 315s up front?

Yeah, Larry also has some really nice custom fabricated inner fenders that tie all his other mods together.

This is not done easily on a first gen! I have a 275 rival on the front of my 67 with a DSE sub and a lot of fabrication time was spent on my inner fenders to make them fit and not rub.

I was just waiting to see if he had a plan, for longer control arms and pivot point correction along with bump steer control, I have 275s on the front of my car on 18x10 rims, I'm pretty good at suspension stuff and I'm at the limit of the stock frame and fenders, but I am interested to see what you have in mind
