Thanks for the info.. Do you happen to know exactly how skinny one can go up front?
I am pritty sure JDM and JLP, and maybee even PSP run rims that are 5 inches wide with 28x7.50x15's Mickey Thompson sportsman tires. With that setup you have to modify the front calipers a little, and they are only good for the track.

Though I went to a event last year at lebonon Valley in eastern NY with the SVTOA and the LS1 club. One idiot in a Camaro drove the 2.5 hours on ET streets on the back and little skinny MT sportsman tires on the front. Then drove home with that set up.

I have a picture of Sal's tires from last years WFC. He was running hoosiers on front and back.
Fronts-28x4.5x15
Rears-30x10.5x15
It looked like they were mounted on Bogarts.

Don, you don't have to repeat yourself. You said,"...One idiot in a Camaro..."
