Fronts!!

What wheels can I run on the fronts from the other 5h gen camaros? What I mean is can we run the 18" wheels that come with the V6s?

You may try that , but first you will have to cut off the Rollerscates from the Brembo brakes

I don't think any of the V6 18" front wheels fit on our cars with Brembo SS brakes.

I've seen various aftermarket wheels in 18x8 and 18x8.5 that fit up front. A while back I tried to buy some guy's 18's he had put snow tires on but he ended up keeping the car.

I'm running 18x9.5 up front, I dropped 11-12 lbs a corner. Not as skinny as I would like but the car looks awesome.

I'm getting proper skinnies for this year though, track only.

See I'm asking bc of the track. I really dont wanna spend shit ton of money on front skinnies bc I won't be going to the track that often. I bought some bogarts 17" rears and now I'm just looking for something up front. Ran across couple of Heritage 18s but they won't fit so that's why I asking.
