Scott, I'm sure you've been asked a million times, but I've never read what you did to fit a 315 tire up front. Care to divulge your secrets?

Matt my subframe rail's are only 32inches outside to outside.My frt wheels are 18x11's (12inches over all) with 7.375 back space.I have the camber set at 3Degrees-neg.mainly for contact patch during track day's.W/the camber set 1.5 degees -neg. they slightly rub the very outer edge of the iner wheel house. I used a hammer and dolley to work the outer edge up &out giving me a little more clearance.But I had to have it bolted to the fender so as was hammering on it would stay.Then I took it apart and used the planishing hammer to smooth it all out so no one could tell what I did unless they look real hard.W/7.375 backspace the inside of the wheels will just barely rub so smoothed the back side of the lower a arm about an 1/8 inch.Under super hard braking w/that much back spacing the inside of the tire will rub on the top inside of the iner fender just under the hood hinge.I know this because after and real fast track day the paint had been rubed off.At lock to lock the tires are about 1/4 inch for outside of the frame rails.The 315's will track alover the road,those slight groves is what those big tires follow.But they really look bad a$$.Thanks for asking Matt.I hope your camaro comes back togather better than before.Scott.

Scott, the car looks great! I've got all my suspension stuff beadblasted and painted, we need to make another trip out to you sometime soon to talk over this subframe with you once more. Things have been really crazy since Carlisle, and I've been telling myself I need to finish fabbing my center console before I tear into something else...

Keep it up!

If grey qualifies as color, yes.

Next week Orange!
