I AM NO LONGER RECOMMENDING HOUSTON PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS AS A SHOP! I STILL RECOMMEND USING MATT SORIAN (MS TUNING) AND MATT HAS RECENTLY HIRED ON TECHS. Thank you again AutoEmpireHouston! Nailed the offset and sizes perfect 👌
Sir , beautiful car. Quick question which wheels nuts do you used ? Because I read that you can't use the regular wheels nuts for this wheels. Any help will be appreciated 🙏
Contact Houston Performance Solutions in Houston or Facebook or IG. They ordered it and nailed it. Everyone is asking what the offset is. No rub at all and fills the wheel well perfect. 305 MT tires on 17 inch wheel.
Not sure to be honest. I left it all up to Auto Empire Houston to order and they nailed it. I think this is literally as far as you can go on both width/offset and height/profile. They nailed it. I get people asking constantly what offset they have. And I have lowering springs and never rubbed once, but has to be close
super clean set-up! Love the look. Definitely a nice touch to have the matching skinnies up front as opposed to just running the rears with stock fronts. Car looks mean AF! Can't wait to see some drag strip runs! As you mentioned though having massive grip on the launch will put more stress on the drivetrain. I certainly wouldn't dump the clutch at high rpm. The best bet is probably hold 2k the quickly and smoothly let out clutch and feed in more throttle as necessary . Keep up the good work brother!
Yeah first race this weekend. I’ll have some footage up afterwards. Yeah my plan is to start at 1400 rpm and go up from there. Maybe start tires in rear at 23 at first and decrease as needed. Thanks for the compliments she’s definetly start to come along 👍. Love the wheels got to test some around the neighborhood and I think it should shave some time. Can’t wait to see.
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 Sounds like a good plan.. Better to be safe than sorry. Car should hook flawlessly with these tires and power level. I had a similar set up on the rear of my 700hp procharged corvette (18 in racestar 305 et streets 22psi) Car hooked amazingly well but then ran into tunning issues right after the launch... Since then have sold the car and now have a 2018 ss 1le. looking forward to your results. I did 2 passed with my stock 1le on stock wheels and tires last summer. It was hot.. like 108 degrees out and the DA was over 6k. 1st pass 13.5 at 106. second pass 13.7 at 105. With cooler temps (not sure what the DA will be for you) and this drag set-up should be able to get in the mid to low 12's... Be sure to check out that video i made (midnight mayhem june 22nd 2018) on my channel. Keep up the good work.
Fire 🔥 Have you installed any new studs from stock version or spacers to have these on because I have bought the exact same setup for my 16 Camaro SS and the wheels are touching with calipers. Any advise ??
Yeah Ive learned the SS Brembos are different that the 1LE brembos. Well at least the mounting bracket and caliper case. Heard someone else say they rub too. You might see if you can find some 1le calipers. Mine are very close but have never rubbed.
Psi depends on situation and car weight. I monitor tire wear and try to hone it in. With that said I would drag race it 18-21 psi and if on street go above 22. I run drag radials all the time in the zr1 and run at 22-24 on street just fine. For torquing I do cheat and do the impact duga duga method 😂. But I use to bust tires for years. I’m not sure what factory torque specs are and it’s always good practice to follow them!!!
Oh yeah. I knew the welds looked good. Wasn’t expecting these to look as good as they do. 👍👍. They are a cheap setup for track but I agree they look awesome. Very 💪💪💪
I sold the camaro. But contact houston performance solutions. They might work a deal or know someone that will. They have a crap load of camaros finishing up
That’s a tuff one man. If you can fit 17 inch wheels on rear and 315 stock tires I’m sure it will and if not they had many offset options. So I’m sure they can make it fit
Love your videos man! Keep up the work! I’m trying little by little to get my car looking likes yours but sadly I have a 2016 LT V6 so I don’t have all the options as you. And one small thing don’t judge but you look like John Cena I think anyways haha
Lol 😆 I wish. First time I’ve heard that. People usually tell me I look like mr white on breaking bad 😩. Thank you. And don’t worry man, v6 is an awesome platform. Seen a v6 with supercharger run 11 flat on dragstrip. They all can go fast 👍👍👍. My first musclecar was a 2000 mustang v6. So we all start somewhere. And v6 can be made just as fast
It’s probably just older tires. Once the Goodyear’s on the 1LE get to about halfway worn they seem to turn into crap. Try a different tire and I bet it goes away. I was only able to launch about 1.3-1.5k rpm on Goodyear’s. I can launch at 2.5k to 3k on the Nittos and my drag radials you can launch at 5k. It’s not the 1LE package I promise you. It’s just the tires
Yeah I plan to switch to bias slicks next. These street ss slip a little compared to the R series. And I’m still taking launches below 2.5k just to be safe

Qtr times?
Looks sick! Finally found a set up I want for mine
My dragstrip setup. They did good zero rubbing and fills up fender wells perfect
Sir , beautiful car. Quick question which wheels nuts do you used ? Because I read that you can't use the regular wheels nuts for this wheels. Any help will be appreciated 🙏
That thing will be a beast at the drag strip and at the track
She was but recently traded for a C6 ZR1 Corvette. Now I need a Drag pack for it :(
What size setup are they? I have a 2019 and don't know the exact size rims and tires to get..

Nice man! How did you fit the 45's in the back??

Very nice video James....A lot of people put drag packs on their cars. And they do not look good. Yours looks really good!!
I agree. It wasn’t a priority when selecting but it ended up 👌👌👌
Looks great, can't wait to get my set.
Why the rear 17x9.5 and not a 17x10.5 for a 305 tire ?
That looks badass James.
Jeff Clayton thank you 🙏. I love it
Be careful with the cheaper rims I’ve seen them break if u hit something in the road pot hole ect beautiful car
Yeah they are for dragstrip only. If I ever replace the 1le street rims I’ll go name brand
Great video. Curious to know what back spacing you got? Was it 7”?
Any reason why you chose the 9.5 over the 10.5? Badass ride!
Not sure if it honestly will matter because you use same 305 width on both. 305 on drag radials seems wider and taller than stock profile tires too

car looks so good with those race stars killer
Yes can’t wait to test them on the track 😬
Are those 6 pistons in the rear? Asking for fitment question
I don’t think rear are 6 piston. Believe that’s front only on brembos.
Good to know! Thanks for the help. I was curious if a 17 would fit over my calipers.
Fire 🔥

I have the same rear tire size and rim size as you but my rim isn’t clearing my brakes did you have to use spacers to get your tires on
No. No spacers on the drag wheels I used on this setup.
You have the SS brembos don’t you? I stead of the 1LE brembos? I’ve heard they are slightly larger
OnlineCarShow yes I do, that might be my problem then
Yeah I heard it before sorry didn’t know that when making the video.
What did you torque these at and what psi?
Thanks in advance !!
Psi depends on situation and car weight. I monitor tire wear and try to hone it in. With that said I would drag race it 18-21 psi and if on street go above 22.

Looks killer. Makes it look even more aggressive.
Oh yeah. I knew the welds looked good. Wasn’t expecting these to look as good as they do. 👍👍. They are a cheap setup for track but I agree they look awesome. Very 💪💪💪
I have a deal for your same rear setup but there MT street Rs. On 17×10 rims they should fit right, i see yours 17x9.5
I sold the camaro. But contact houston performance solutions. They might work a deal or know someone that will. They have a crap load of camaros finishing up
How was the sway/float from the rear while cruising at highway speeds?
Not bad at all to be honest the bmr stuff I did before this really prepared it well
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 thanks for the reply!
18x6 in front or 18x5?
I can't remember I think 6 because I wanted wider in case I put on street for Mexico trips
Do you need to install small brake on the rear for use 17" drag wheels?
Not with 1LE Brembos. But I heard 2ss brembos do get in the way. So non-brembo SS or 1LE with brembos and your fine.
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 thanks
what PSI were you running front and rear when doing digs? thanks
I saw increase in traction around 20psi on strip
Well those fit on a 5 gen camaro?
That’s a tuff one man. If you can fit 17 inch wheels on rear and 315 stock tires I’m sure it will and if not they had many offset options. So I’m sure they can make it fit
Does that 17 inch rim fit around the caliper good? Or did you neeed spacers?
It does on ss1le but I heard 2ss brembos are different. So not positive with 2ss
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 they fit fine with the 2ss
Do you have the exact size of the rear wheels? And model of them. I also have a ss1le.
Contact autoempire houston or @autoempirehouston. They ordered them and nailed the size perfect. Zero rubbing!
What size are in the front ?are they also 17?
What lug nuts did you uses?
I can’t remember now but they were different from stock
What lugnuts are those I need them
Drag stars same company as wheels. To be honest the lugs were very poorly made. I had planned to swap them out
Whats the bolt pattern ? 5x120.7 ??
KVNGRICOTV 5x120
that set up looks 🔥🔥🔥
It was perfect setup. Zero rubs and good bite
Que medida son ?
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Are those 17x4.5 up front ?
18x6
I agree car looks awesome got my attention 😂👍🏁
Are the fronts 18x5
18x6
OnlineCarShow where can I be the 18x6 ?
Awesome bro. Enjoy the beast.
Thank you can’t wait till January 12th
Bad ass. Hoping to do this soon
I figure it will save me money over time. Tires on 20s are about 300-450. Drag radials or slicks on 17s only 200-250
Looks amazing
Thank you. Still haven’t got a chance to run them. Keeps getting rained out 😭😭😭
Nice add James.
wisguy2u thank you I love it.

You should probably run bias ply tires if that’s an actual 1le . Your drivetrain will thank you .
Yeah I’ve heard that I plan to switch once I wear these out
I have an ss1le it had some crazy wheel hop. I'm trying to figure out how come.
It’s probably just older tires. Once the Goodyear’s on the 1LE get to about halfway worn they seem to turn into crap. Try a different tire and I bet it goes away.

@@OnlinecarshowNet1 actually I have nitto 555 g2 and the are only five months old. I'm still hoping it's the tires.
Looking mean
Thank you brother. Should give me traction now. Hopefully clutch and driveshaft will last 😂
That company doesn't exist anymore!
What company? Dragstars? I just ordered wheels for vette from forgestar which I think is same company.
