Would love 4 of those in 20x9.5 with P275/40ZR20s painted silver to match the silver accents on my Synergy edition.
But those black ones look hot!

Yes. They just barely rubbed caliper without them.

I just used off the shelf 5x120 BMW spacers because they do not have to be hub centric for only 3mm spacers. Also, GM went to European TPMS sensors for the 2016, so a 5th gen won't recognize them.

Tires look too small for the car for some reason. Other than that I like them.

I always liked the LS7 wheels and want to put a set on my car. Always liked chrome more than the painted wheels. It's a little old school but they really stand out.
Those are 45th anniversary edition wheels for sure.

The tires are smaller, .5" shorter in overall height than a comparable 5th gen.

Yes. They are so close that they slightly rub when braking. I added 3mm spacers.

They have the wrong tires on it. I did this with my 2015 Camaro at the beginning of 2016. The offset is different which makes the car have a wider stance because it puts the wheel 1 inch further away from the suspension. I recently got rid of the 2015 for a 2016. The dealer requested that i keep the wheels on it to help with the resale. I think it can be seen on philsmith

That wheel should have no issues clearing the brembo brakes on a 5th gen. That is an SS wheel

Any fitment issues?

Are there any fitment issues? I found a set of gen 6 ss rims for sale at a local dealer. They said they would do 500 for the set. 8.5 with 25 offset, and 9.5 with 39 offset.
