Lovin' my 22's

2012 1LS v6
22" x 9.5" Bravado Americana II ($250 ea.)in Matte Black on all 4 corners. 265/35/22 Goodyear Eagle GT ($168 ea.)




To answer a few questions posed in several threads:
  • I think 22's look great on Camaro's provided they are not too flashy.
  • Slight rubbing at inside left strut brace at install. Easily corrected with very minor mod to bottom of brace.
  • Well worth the mod as 265/35/22's are the least expensive and most plentiful 22" tire that will work on a Camaro.
  • No loss of any performance or stopping power.
  • Went non-staggered for purposes of rotation, looks as good as staggered though.
  • Turns the heads of most other Camaro owners.
Cheers!

I was amazed when I put my 5 spoke 22"s on (I am an old fart too) how easy it is to get your hand in there to clean the inside of wheel. I could reach in and armor all the inside of the tire if I wantred. Frankly, my pressure washer gets in there just fine. I think the key is the wheels you select. Cheers!
