18" Wheel Suggestions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm wanting to drop down to an 18" wheel and I was wondering if anyone could offer some suggestions for 18s that will clear the Brembos. I'd even consider a 19" if there are more options, but would prefer an 18".

Any help would be appreciated.

What are you wanting to do with these 18's? Drag race? Auto-Cross (Road Course)? Or just a daily driver type wheel?

I am looking to down-size too, but mine is mainly going to be a street-driven car with occasional trips to the drag strip. You could consider the Forgestar F14 or CF5. Or, I might wait for Race Star Industries to release there 18x10.5 Drag Star wheel, hopefully no later than November (unfortunately they are not releasing a matching 18" front wheel, so if I go that route, I'll have to put a 17" wheel on front). Also, they're a little more spendy, but you might consider the Weld Wheels RT-S in an 18" diameter (no fitment issues with the 18's). These are all the options I'm considering anyway....

Thanks for the input.

My car is my daily driver, but I also plan to run it down the 1320 every now and then.
