Thinking about ordering some TSW wheels for my Z. I need some advice. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm thinking about ordering these TSW wheels but I have a few questions. The wheel size(s) are exact for the front (20x10) but the rears are only available in 20x10.5. I know the OEM on the rears are 11".

So my question is this. How much of a difference would half inch on the rear make? Would lacking the half inch make the rear wheels/tires look dumb or would they be okay?

Also, I know the bolt pattern is 5x120 but what's the offset for the rear and front?

What's the general opinion on TSW wheels? Are they good wheels?

Get in touch with NineBall. He's a wheel dealer and knows a lot about wheels/fitment.
Good luck.

$840 a set. 20x10's on all 4 corners. Relatively light too at 28lbs. Per.

I really like the C6 Cup wheel. It's a 19x10/20x12 combo that probably wouldn't fit; but they look nice and they're not the expensive.

I have TSW Tanaka wheels (with all-season Continental rubber) on my ZL1, and the rears are also 10.5". They look fine, the smaller width is hardly noticeable.

Those do look nice. Those ceramic rotors look killer too! Man, those things are massive.

If you want to sell your factory wheels let me know.

LOL I asked him the day after he picked up his car last month he is going to hold onto them.

bumblebeecamaro · 04-22-2013, 12:11 PM

You will like them. Good quality and well established history with Camaros and CTS-Vs. I'd recommend a square set up personally so you can rotate and save a ton on tires over time. Can run a 295/35/20 Pilot Super Sport on all corners and Michelin will give you a 30k mile warranty....hard to beat that for a phenomenal tire. These are 20x10xet35

Great advice right there.
