You guys are going to love this. My 2010 Camaro SS M5 Edition LOL. 19's

Last week I had to toss on my snow tires for my BMW M5 V10. So with some measurements and some free time I realized I can install these OEM 19 wheels on my 2010 Camaro. Offsets and Bolt Pattern are PERFECT. I had to have my guys downstairs machine me 4 center bore rings, was a total piece of cake. No spacers, no special lug nuts, no cutting or grinding.

Car is lower by more than an inch it seems but there is some wheel well gap as a result.

Honestly this fitment looks so HOT in person. Photos suck because i was freezing but it will give you guys an idea of the look and the concave face looks killer.

These wheels are super light and strong made by BBS of course. 255 up front and 285 tires out back.

I am actually fortunate enough to own both cars that I could pull off this experiment.

The Camaro handles so much better now and the steering and body roll is tenacious. Only issue its too cold to really push the damn car.

Enjoy and ask any questions you guys have. I am taking them off any day now because I need to measure the car for custom wheels.

center caps are easy to change. No I am not going to attempt to mount the SS wheels on the M5 the tires are too large and will hit when the car is off the lift.

Just an experiment for everyone to see. Its not staying like this for long.

WTH is wrong with you? Euro parts on the Camaro??? Can't we just keep it to the original American/Chinese/Korean parts assembled in Canada?

Guys this is just a fitment experiment for you all to see. SO many wheel vendors dont even know that this will fit the Camaro. Well I proved them all wrong who told me its impossible and will never fit because the offset it too low.

These wheels are a super LOW offset and clear the calipers perfectly. It just shows you with some custom measurements and the right wheel design the fitments can become much more aggressive and concave in nature.

Dont think there will be any group buy these BMW wheels are not cheap to buy over the counter.
