18's can fit on your SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

In almost every thread about Snow tires people debate whether 18's can fit over the Brembos. So i decided to collect pics of SS's with 18's on them.

There are more pics but I am tired of looking. If you have 18's on your SS post them here.

Err . . . the second one would be an LS or LT, but yea you're right there are more SS's with 18s.

rolnslo · 12-21-2009, 09:55 AM

I don't think the debate was whether or not any 18's would clear the Brembos on the SS but rather if the stock LS 18" steel wheels would.

Correct.

No there is a huge debate over this topic. No one with a set of 18's that fit on the SS without spacers or anything will list the brand and where they got the 18's. I have been trying to get a straight answer for 5 months. Top car is a SS but what wheels are they??

Mr Twisty · 12-21-2009, 08:27 PM

Some 17's will fit also.

I can't find the thread but, it was mentioned that they got the rims / tires / tpms from tirerack. give them a try

you need to speak to one of the reps.

lawdogg149 · 12-21-2009, 09:13 PM

did they shipped me wheels and tires that didn't fit and I shipped them back.

I ordered 18in wheels from tire rack and the fit just fine, thats my car in the top pic. The wheels were on clearance but they have others now.

chappy48 · 12-21-2009, 11:41 PM

Just got to make sure the offset is right and that they clear the calipers. Some will, some wont.

brandotron · 12-21-2009, 11:43 PM

lol, So you "collected" all 1 pics of SS's with 18's?

Coldpants · 01-01-2010, 02:29 AM

I've put this out there many times, but Bogart makes 5th gen specific 17's that are sold through SJM Manufacturing. You can also get a 5th gen specific line lock kit from SJM with pre-bent lines & everything you need to hook it up.

KateVrroom · 01-01-2010, 08:28 AM

I understand the confusion. Tirerack is only adding to it. If you search under a 2SS RS you will not get any 18 inch tire or wheel options. And when I called to speak to a rep. He told me they would not fit my car. I had to go to a 19 inch wheel. Pick a different tire, etc. He would not "sell me" the 18 inch set.
So I said "good bye".
