Exactly. The concept car everyone fell in love with had 22s on the rear, 21s on the front. The concept Camaro was also a little smaller than the real car.

Let me illustrate why 20-22 wheels work well on the Camaro. The Camaro has HUGE tires. They are nearly 29 inches tall. Here is a photo of three OEM wheels. 20" Camaro wheel, 19" Corvette wheel, 17" Firebird wheel. Look how tall the Camaro tires are, by comparison. The other two wheels have 26" tires on them.



Bigger tires means bigger wheels look proportionally "right".
