New to Camaro and swapping out rims - Questions!

JTrollerb · 09-18-2019, 11:44 PM

Hi, I just purchased my first Camaro - Super excited - And I'm looking to keep my existing 18" tires while changing out the Stock 18" rims. First time doing this so not sure what I need to look for to ensure the rims fit my existing tires:

245/50R18
2019 LT

Which set of numbers besides the 18" must prospective rims meet?
Would any other Chevy model (i.e. Malibu) fit better than a non-Chevy?
Do rims have the #'s printed somewhere on them? Good too know if I can find/buy off OfferUp/FB Marketplace/etc and would like to validate before purchase

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Stamped or cast on inside you will find bolt pattern ( 5 x 120 ) and offset, ET 28 perhaps or 31, which is measured in mm.

Can’t find it anywhere. Any samples? Do you need to take rims or tires off to see?

Typically on spokes ( inside of wheels ) or near where it bolts to the hub.

hard to see with wheel mounted on the car.

what is your goal here, save weight? appearance? just want to switch? What brakes do you have? What type of driving do you do? Are you tracking?
