Brandon, if your wheel seller is recommending adapters for an aftermarket wheel....run.

If ordered and spec'd out properly, you should never need adapters or spacers to make a wheel work. Most people use adapters because they are trying to make a wheel fit which wasn't designed for the Camaro. If you are going to spend the money, be sure to get some wheels that are built specifically for your car.

BTW, that 305 wide tire you want to run works better with a 10-10.5 wide wheel. The Camaro easily fits a 11.0 w/ 315 tire in the rear.

Thanks,
Tony
