2016-present Chevrolet Camaro
Chassis Introduction
The 6th generation of the Camaro debuted for the 2016 model year featuring an all-new chassis co-developed with Cadillac, nicknamed “Alpha”. This is arguably the greatest muscle car chassis to date and allowed Chevrolet to grab hold in the Pony Car wars. Every day, more owners are discovering just how much performance their cars are capable of.

Performance Street/Track Fitments
ARC-8 // Front: 19x11" ET11 with 305/30-19 tires // Rear: 19x12" ET41 with 325/30-19 tires
These fitments are effective for both performance oriented street cars and weekend track warriors. The suspension type, alignment settings, and tire brand/size can be changed accordingly to work for either scenario.
Square Setups
Recommended for most types of street and performance driving. Allows proper front-to-rear tire rotation to extend tire life & improve handling balance.
- Front and Rear: 19x10” ET20 with 285/35-19 tires
- Direct fit
- 275/40-19 or 275/35-19 tires can also be used as a direct fit
- Front: 19x11” ET11 - 305/30-19
Rear: 19x11” ET35/43 - 305/30-19- On models equipped with the bulkier MRC suspension, it is important to note that if you dial in camber at the spindle, you may have inner strut clearance issues up front. 3-5mm spacers would be needed at that point. If you dial in camber with adjustable camber plates, no spacers required.
- This is an aggressive fitment for the SS and SS 1LE since they do not have wider front fenders. Negative camber, via plates, required up front to limit poke.
- Direct fit with the wider ZL1 front fenders with stock alignment
Staggered Setups
Maintains stock-like handling characteristics, tires can only be rotated left to right. Maximizes both front and rear tire width.
- Front: 19x10” ET20 with 285/35-19 tires
Rear: 19x11” ET35/43 with 305/30-19 tires
- Direct fit
- Can also use 315/30-19 in the rear and/or 275/35-19 up front
Track/Race Fitments
ARC-8 // Front: 19x11" ET11 with 305/30-19 tires // Rear: 19x12" ET41 with 325/30-19 tires
These no-compromise fitments are ideal for track/race cars. They rely on aggressive negative camber specifications since you'll be using all available real estate under the fender arches to accommodate these wide wheels.

Additional Fitment Information
Steering knuckle clearance
18" wheels in 10" to 11" widths often require 5th and 6th gen Camaro owners to grind a small portion off of the front steering knuckle for added clearance. Below are some pictures of the problem areas. This is only an issue with wider 18” wheels as the inside lip of 19” wheels will fit over the top of the knuckle without clearance issues (click images to enlarge).
