Assuming they are the same size in the rear as the LT (or even are the exact same brakes), you should be able to fit the 18" rims on the REAR of the car. The front, with those large Brembos, can only ever use 20" or higher. Again I have no idea how big the rear brakes on the SS are so this is just speculation on my part. Personally having 20" rims on the front and 18" rims on the rear would just look stupid, especially since getting matching rims would be near impossible.

Unless it's a typo, in the brocure, or the website ( I can't remember where I saw it) the rear brakes are bigger... But unless the calipers are ginormous, there's a slim chance we can squeeze 18s on... A very slim chance... Not very likely at all... lmao
