Tires on RS package

The tires that come on the RS package rims, are they summer performance tires or all-season tires? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

The base LS Camaro Wheel is steel. That would work quite well.

I believe they're summer only on the SS-RS. All season on LT RS.

I stand corrected! I'm getting an extra set of cheap wheels for the winter anyway since it will be my year-rounder.

I believe you will find if your car is an RS the 18 inch wheels will not fit.

RS gets same rear member as SS.

not with the RS package. that adds 20x8 front / 20x9 rear wheels using 245 / 275 pirelli p-zero summer tires.

the Brembos on the SS are what prevent the 18s from fitting, so as long as it's an LT, they'll work.

why not?

the LS, 1LT, & 2LT all have the same brakes.
the LS & 1LT come standard with 18x7 wheels.
the RS package only changes the wheels, not the brakes.

using that logic, the LT/RS cars will also be able to use 18s.

now... if the OP has an SS/RS, stock 18x7s from an LS or 1LT will not fit over the larger SS brakes

Check with Hylton....

I read the RS V6 gets the SS hardware (hubs/links) and the 18" wheel will not clear it.
