This is for anyone who is interested in installing wide tires on a C8 Stingray. I have a 2021 Stingray with factory wheels. I replaced the Factory the 245 front tires with 285/30 ZR 19" and replaced the 305 rear tires with 335/25 ZR 20". The new tires are Michelin AS 4. I like the wider tire look. I had no problems with clearance. No problems with steering wheel effort. No CEL's.
After installing the wider tires, I have installed 20mm spacers and still have no clearance problems. It gives the car a "Hot Wheels" look. The tire tread is still under the body line. Clearance wise I only get a slight rub when turning sharp out of a steep driveway (very doable). I have been running this setup 8 months daily totaling 5000mi.
I have added a Lingenfelter Carbon PTR intake manifold with Soler 95/100mm TB and Soler throttle controller.
I installed the Halltech CAI C8 Hornet air cleaner system.
The Lingenfelter "Kit" is complete with everything needed. I am real happy with the setup. No CEL's.
I would be glad to text or email photos to anyone. The car is real fun on the street and the wider tires help it hookup better. After dragstrip tracking it twice, I may need sticker tires for the dragstrip.
If you're going to start pushing it,, be sure to add the 2 extra quarts to the transmission oil, change the transmission oil filter before 7500 mi and turn off the T/C.
I also use the MOA engine oil additive and change the engine oil/filter at 50%.
