I am thinking of purchasing the matte black replica wheels for my 2012 SS and want to go with 275/40's on all four corners. I have a 1 inch drop on my vehicle and I am wondering if everything will be fine with this set up. The replicas are 20X9 5-120.00 35. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

The offset is what you need to know that's what will determine if they will clear your fenders. If you mean the factory reproduction zl1 reicas just tell them in your email/invoice that your lowered and they know which offset I'm not sure if the 20x9 come in more than one offset or not I have 20x10 up front with +35 and fitment couldn't be better

Black SS rims?...
You'll be fine have the same setup

Where can one get those replica black rims? I've seen them in 22" but not the stock 20s. I didn't figure I could fit a 22" without modifying something.

22" should fit fine, you just wind up with less sidewall on the tire.

the 35mm offset should work perfectly fine, that just means the tire/wheel will move 5mm closer to the fender, should be no issue with a 1" drop.

The extra 5mm may be useful if you want to run a little more camber in the front.

I got mines from discount tire - if you are talking about the Camaro SS rims-
$155each I believe.
Got 4 and then sold my OEs

I have factory reproduction wheels on mine. 20x10 all around with 275/35/20. I will go with a bigger tire next time. I wanted the 35 offset but they would not work with my coilovers so I had to get the 23 offset which work great. no rubbing and I am about 1" lower than stock, maybe even more.

if thats what your going to run then make sure you get a 23 offset in the rear and 27 in the front. This will make all your wheel flush with the fenders. did the same thing with 275's all around except i have a 10 inch in the rear and all the tires are perfectly flush. but you won't have the option to go with bigger tires cause your kinda maxing out the 9 inch rim with the 275's

Thanks for the help.

If you can go with the 10" over the 9" They will fit in the wheel well You will kick yourself latter if you ever want to go to a wider tire. I am running 275/40 right now on mine but will go with 285/35 on next tire purchase.
