15inch weld wheels on my 2011 camaro



Just posting a picture in the wheels and tire section.

Thinking about going with a 18x8 or 7, and running that Mickey Thompson 28x10 18inch, because it looks a little rediculous with a 20inch wheel on the front.

Would eventually like to have a 15inch wheel with a nitto in the back and the 18s up front forthr street.

Then use these wheels with beadlocks and a 17in alumastar for the track. Similar to this Vette.

Why not Weld 17x4.5 + 28" MH tires. Darth Emma's car rocks that look.

I think it looks awesome!! If your really worried about the look you can always come down a few sized in the front. I know withy the right offset an everything there are some 18's that'll fit right?

Yeah that's what I want to use on my drag wheels.
15x10 17x4 with the m&h up front and my mt pros out back. With the beadlocks eventually.

Still probably buy a 18x8 weld with the MT fronts. for the street.

And just get rid of my factory 20s

Nice.How much power are you putting down? It should be a 4 digit number I assume, if it requires a 15'welds.

17X4.5 Front and 17X10 Rear. 26" on front and 27" on the rear. I also have a 17X8 front with a 27" tire for the street. The car is not lowered.

Be prepared as it is no small feat to get 15" wheels on an SS.

Mike's car is just insane
