24 inch wheels on '11 Camaro RS??

Does anybody here run 24 inch wheels on their Camaro?? I'm thinking about running 24's on my '11 RS but a friend of mine told me that I would have problems with rubbing on the back tires & possible turning issues with the front wheels.. I've read a few threads & I haven't heard many negatives on running 24 inch wheels but I need some more validation. Can anyone chime in on this topic??? Thanks.

No problems whatsoever running a 24" as long as u get the correct offset and tire size.....I recommend 255/30/24, the 25 series in my opinion is just way 2 thin.

I've heard anything wider than 9.5 in the front will rub on turns.. is there any truth to that? How wide are the rims you run & is that your ride in the post?

Its a good thing he wasn't asking if you like it or not. He's asking if those who have had 24's had problems with rubbing, ride, etc. Apparently it looks like you have no experience what so ever with the OP's question so why give your opinion about something you have no knowledge of?

not sure about how wide u can go, I was told 2 just stay under 9. Yes that is my car in my sig and they r 9's. I believe if u wanna do a 9.5 then u must run a 25 series tire.

the op asked if anyone is running 24s so that was an open question, so if someone says no, they dont like it, that answers part of that question.
