Hardcore Track Wheel Fitment

Track focused fitments that require significant modifications

  • Blue Chevrolet Corvette - VS-5RS in Anthracite
  • Orange Chevrolet Corvette - VS-5RS in Satin Black
  • Orange Chevrolet Corvette - VS-5RS in Anthracite

These wheel and tire configurations are best suited for hardcore track junkies and club racers that prioritize performance above all else. With these wheels everything from extreme summer tires to full racing slicks are commonly used depending on your experience behind the wheel, class rules, etc.

Additional negative camber is required to maximize performance and tire longevity, and prevent rubbing under suspension compression. Even with the appropriate amount of negative camber dialed in, some of the more extreme fitments can still scrub the liners under suspension compression and/or when turning the steering wheel to full lock. This is par for the course when pushing the limits of wheel and tire fitment. These fitments are not for someone who primarily will use this wheel setup on their C8 Corvette for street driving or in inclement weather.

Brake Clearance Information

In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance for all OEM and most aftermarket kits so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter. Please contact us if you have a specific aftermarket kit you plan to use.

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hard core racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
