So at this point, based on what I am seeing from what you are saying, correct me please if i am wrong Front should could be 19x10 275s upfront to retain steering potential and street use. If I really want to push it, Stock Height on 19x10.5 could work with wider rubber, however i more likely will lose some steering and suspension travel/rubbing would be an issue during compression. all that considered, I would still go with 19x11s in the rear or 18x11's if need be???? I know 18s are generally "cheaper". I dont think the ECU would see a drastic difference with 19 front and 18 rears, perhaps JKAMPINGAFW could tell us if he has had any issues with bigger front tire, smaller rear in regards to ECU/DSC. |

I have the same question, looking for a dedicated wheel set to run Nitto NT-01.
Want to maximize tire width but do not want to modify the car in any other way, and will not be dropping the clips out to lower it. I just sent an email to Apex racing with the same question, I'll post back if they respond. |

Just got this from Apex:
Front: 19x10" ET25 with 275/30-19 tires Rear: 19x11" ET44 with 305/30-19 tires Brake clearance: SB CCB Available in SM-10 design only. 5mm front spacers may be required for certain aftermarket suspensions, see below. Front 19x9.5" ET22 wheel can be used to avoid running spacers with certain aftermarket suspensions due to its superior inner clearance. 315/25-19 rear tires may also be used, but may require rolled rear fenders and/or negative camber. Rear 295/30-19 tires can also be used. With a 19x10" ET25 front and a 19x11" ET44 rear, you can run 275/30-19 front and 305/30-19 rear tires as a mostly direct fit on a stock car. Since the GTS utilizes a rebranded KW clubsport suspension, a 5mm front spacer will be required with the 19x10" ET25 wheels. If you are running an aggressive tire compound, such as the NT-01, this additional spacing may require some front negative camber to compensate. As an alternative, you can run the 19x9.5" ET22 up front, which will clear without a 5mm spacer or additional front negative camber. These 19" wheels will also have no problem clearing the larger CCB's if your GTS is equipped with them. In a follow up email, they said that if I decided on the ET25 (25mm offset) front, With the required 5 mm spacer I might need to get some negative camber, so he was recommending the 19x9.5 ET22 with 275/30 for a completely stock compatible set up. They offer a mounting and balancing, so I'm thinking Nitto NT-01. I just sent them another email about the possibility of installing TPS at the same time. |

Ok so I'll chime in, the issue with running a 9.5 wheel in the front is not enough support for a wider tire like a 275. Remember most 275 tires have a tread width of about 10", so at the very least youd want a same width wheel.
You can run the 9.5 front wheel without any issues but it's not ideal. Ideal would be like a 265 on a 9.5 as it comes OEM. With that said that 9.5et22 size is available in every style and you are pretty much guaranteed no fitment issues. For tracking purposes you want proper wheel support for wider tires, when you start loading up those lateral gs you'll notice the difference in sharpness. |

Yes indeed. I'm actually probably going to go with a slightly different choice, 19 x 9.5 ET22 up front with 275, and 19 x 10.5 ET45 rear with 305 tire. These are available only in EC7 Which is the nice dual 7 spoke design with a pretty good dish. Nice looking wheel. I'm not such a big fan of the SM 10 which is a single spoke design. I'm thinking the anthracite finish will be a great complement to the frozen gray paint. Not that I'm vain or anything 😑 Looks like the rear wheels are not available yet, won't be in till December. So I'll probably have to do my track day on the stock wheels thankfully I have new Cup 2 I'm sure I'll be fine. I don't know what I'm doing, never been to the track before. They offer free mount and balance if you buy tires from them, I just sent them an email to see if they could also do TPMS. |

I think my car has Ground Control camber plates already installed. Will have to check, I found a receipt for them in a file from the previous owner. It was a Ground Control invoice but didn't say camber plates specifically iirc, just had a SKU and price of around $600, sound about right? |

i've got the strut covers on but when the car goes in this week it's on my checklist for the tech to confirm. the PO might have uninstalled and sold them or they could still be on the car, i have no idea. if they are still there ill tell him to send me a pic.

Anyone have anything to say about other camber plate options?
Just watched a video on Millway camber plates installed on a non-GTS, looked pretty nice as well. Also I am in San Antonio, and probably will not install camber plates myself. Anyone have any recommendations for a suspension shop in the San Antonio or Austin area? |

True wheel width is irrelevant for the sake of this discussion. Believe that's just adding confusion. |
