The tire in that picture is the SC3R. They are on my Camaro ZL1 1LE (āZLEā to avoid the alphabet soup). The ZLE (not to be confused with the regular ZL1) comes with the SC3Rs from the factory, and my ZLE is 100% bone stock down to the air cleaner - zero modifications including wheels and tires. I tried to get some better pictures today but I couldnāt get anything that shows a realistic view of the wheel/tire combo. I donāt see any stretch in the sidewall but the SC3Rs do have the sidewall that extends past the wheel rim to add some curb protection as part of the tire design, just like the Cup2s. But now we have pictures from OP to confirm the 325/30/19 SC3Rs do result in some poke. I personally would not want that on my R but I donāt track my R and the potential for paint damage would be my primary concern - the SC3Rs throw rocks every bit as bad as the Cup2s on the R. I would also be slightly concerned about damage to the quarter panel at full suspension compression on the rear, but I really donāt know whether the tire would contact the quarter panel at full squat.@passwords So I just looked up the specs for the 325/30 SC3(nonR) vs my Conti SportContact. The GY has a 1/2" wider treadwidth (.5 exactly), but they boast the exact same section width on the same wheel size (11.5"). In that photo on your 12" wheel, they look ever so slightly stretched; which I like. but with the same section width, they should look and fit very similar as the Conti on my 11.5". I checked the 305 for the front also, and that had the same results.
