If this negatively affects my handling I will know right away. My coilovers made such a big improvement that it will be obvious to me pretty quickly I think. But hopefully it won't be a major difference. My other concern is that my car is pretty low. With these 315's and the 11 inch wheels, I am concerned I may have to adjust the car back up a little bit. I was so obsessive with the coilover settings last time that I set them with a micrometer. I have coilover socks, so the threads should be nice and clean if I need to adjust.

I have been running the Conti's since I have had the Camaro, 275/35/20 fronts on my 10 inch M228'S AND 315/35/20 on my 11 inch rears, lowered 1.25 all 4 corners and she drives nice. I really like them. I think you will too, I hope; lol.

Nice, thanks man, very happy to hear that. That also helps me to see how the tires will sit with the wheel well. Oh man I can't wait. I keep checking UPS tracking every 5 minutes to see where my tires are lol. Should be here any moment.

Edit: Just got them. Holy crap, these things are enormous! Did you guys running 315's on an 11" wheel have to tie back your e-brake cables?

I did not have to tie mine back but I know a lot of people have had to.

I had to tie my ebrake cables back because it was rubbing on wheel barrel on the passenger side. Looked fine with the car stationary but rubbed slightly when I took it for a test ride (315 tire on 11" wide wheel).

I did not have to tie mine back, even with the 335's on the 11 inch did not have to tie it back. I guess it just depends on the offset. +43 here.

+45 offset on mine. Looks like it was barely rubbing.

Yea, a +45 would be 2mm more to the inside of the car than mine is probably why. Just that little bit makes a big difference sometimes.
