24s on a ZL1? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I wouldn't go bigger than 22" just because ZL1 is a high performance car and you want to find a nice balance of looks and performance.

There comes a point when its just to big, 20s are perfect. I agree with you on the too small. Those 30s or 35s on that Camaro on U tube just look disgusting, that womans license should be revolked.I personally havent seen anthing more revolting in my life and the scary part is, they think it looks good ! arghhhh!

blackSSRS · 01-30-2012, 03:57 PM

been thinking of 22's. now that i've seen 24's on the camaro... i actually think 24 is the perfect size rim. and those saying no bigger than 22's were saying no bigger than 20's 5 years ago. its obvious it will hamper performance a little but with 580 hp who gives a sh*t... and i doubt its as much as people make it out to... anyone do a 1/4 mile run with 20's vs 22's vs 24's? i highly doubt its much different than riding with your fat girlfriend/wife in the car....

EvilZL1 · 01-31-2012, 10:23 AM

Why in the hell would you put 24's on a ZL1 when it is built to be a performance car. You don't see the mustang retards put 24's on the GT500. Thats just plain stupid, sorry if i offend someone, but wouldnt you want to receive the full performance of the ZL1 that you paid 60k for?? I throw up in my mouth when I see any camaro on anything bigger than 20's because its not made for that. Its a beautiful special edition camaro, please dont mess it up by throwing rims on it.

Actually the Camaro was built for 22" in the back 21" in the front but other wise I agree

Are you referring to the concept car that couldn't go above 30 or 35 mph?

FINALLYSATISFIED · 02-01-2012, 03:04 PM

why are you guys worried about the next man's car? worry about your cars. simple.

EvilZL1 · 02-01-2012, 03:40 PM

I know its his car and all, just hate to see something quite beautiful be destroyed in my eyes. Just my opinion.

BowtieBelle · 02-01-2012, 03:42 PM

The title of this thread made me die a little inside. :( What the heck would you do this for? I mean it would KILL the performance... effectively HOBBLE the car...

Just my opinion, of course.

I think most of us are getting off-topic a bit. He didn't ask what we thought about the look, more about the fitment. Let's keep comments strict from here-on-out. People are getting and have been borderline rude with some comments.

I'm ashamed to admit, but I haven't researched the actual tire height, nor have I calculated it yet, however, ZL1 is only 7mm lower than SS. So far, it sounds like the springs are slightly shorter for the front, and the only comments I've read from reviewers has been they are variable rate - nothing mentioned of differences in height. Larger 24s are likely to require a taller tire, which will likely raise ZL1 up a little bit. 25.4mm fit in 1-inch, so you can see it wasn't lowered all that much. I think it will actually likely have more clearance than SS - which may be good for that splitter

I just checked. It seems like the rear SS tires are slightly larger than the ZL1's (6.5 mm) and the fronts are are significantly smaller (by 21 mm). If the car is 7mm lower, then the front springs would actually be slightly longer in the ZL1 than they are in the SS. Rears would be a touch shorter to lower it evenly, but if they're measuring from the middle of the car or taking an average ... it would work out to about 7mm if they don't change the springs at all

Ah, the factoids we learn when bored ...

I recall reading they used the same springs as the SS on the car. The Gen-III MR system assumes a greater authority in the suspension system.
