Default Sport Cup 2 on Z51 wheels

Hi guys,

I have some 265/35/R19 and 295/30/R20 Sport Cup 2 tires that a friend of mine gave me last year, barely a few hundred miles on them.
Will they fit my Z51 ? I'm lowered on stock bolts.
How are they compared with the R888s ?

Regards,
Michael

That is the sizes I run on my '15 Z51.
Mine is lowered on stock bolts also.
Don't know how they compare in size with R888's.

I would think they would work great, the R888's are good too, I have done several events on mine, I have 18/19 track wheels on my car.

I also have a Z51 that I track. Someone who runs those posted that they DO rub if you are lowered on stock bolts, I wanted to use them but I didn't want to raise car and I want ZERO rubbing, esp on Track. Some guys run them on the street seemingly with no issues, esp if they aren't lowered. Good luck and report results I would love to run those but don't want to rub and want to leave car lowered

I run 255/295 MPSS lowered on stock bolts. Slight rub front and rear. I have a few spots that are rubbing and a couple that have rubbed enough to create a small hole in the liner.

I had the rears installed today...no rubbing so far.
My first impression is that they hook less then the PSS...but maybe it's still cold outside...

Everything I have heard is that you have to heat up the Cup's pretty good before they will hook. Keep us posted with your results. For a street tire the PSS non-runflats seem like a worthy option..
