John made these wheels a couple weeks ago and sent these photos,can you say SKATE BOARD!

Even if you slam the car...I do not see it looking right.

Hope this helps your decision on what size wheels and tires to buy.

i agree, even if you were to slam it the car, it can't go low enough to make the rims look proportional

usmcjlp · 08-19-2009, 09:05 PM

I'm not so sure. Let's see it lowered before we rule it out. I'm not crazy about the wheel choice.

I want Crager deeps.

Jferrell88 · 08-19-2009, 09:19 PM

IMO unless your going drag racing , a 20 inch wheels belongs on this car its to big of a car to have any smaller wheel

TaylorRyanSS · 08-19-2009, 09:29 PM

looks horrible... 22s with a slight drop fit the car perfect

91Z28350 · 08-19-2009, 10:05 PM

Damn ! :( That is exactly the combo I was thinking of, rims and size! Guess I will be staying with 20's.

A Camaro ruined. This is no better than one of theose Donk's with the huge wheels and small wheel wells. The car was conceptualized with 22's and 21's. 20's are as small as you can go and still look right. If you lower that car even an inch, your going to have all sorts of ground clearance problems. It'd suck to have to explain to the dealer how a pack of gum in the road took out your oil pan!

*The_Blur* · 08-19-2009, 11:01 PM

This reinforces my decision to stay with 20s. They simply look better. Oftentimes, I feel that OEM wheels are insufficient for their cars. Take, for instance, the Cobalt LS. The body looks lifted, and the wheels are 15s in a wheel well that supports 18s on the SS model without low-profile tires. I am happy to say that GM could not have better matched the OEM wheels with the product for an attractive combination.

Something is off. Do those 305's maintain the correct overall diameter - 28.66"?

They look to be slightly less than that. 305/40R19 would get you to 28.6" but those sidewalls look to be shorter than the 20" P-Zeros.

Yeah, why not go with a 50 series instead of 40.. might fill it up a bit more... not a big fan of those skinny sidewalls as the roads get crappier and crappier.. I have pinched a tire before on a pot hole I could not avoid and I was lucky he rim was ok...

Mr Twisty · 08-19-2009, 11:34 PM

Just the ticket for the go fast crowd... too bad 18's don't fit.

Doc · 08-19-2009, 11:42 PM

Actually the 19 isn't all that bad it's the tire profile that ruins the look. Are these 305/25-19's? The 25 profile is way too low. A 25 profile in this size is 3.75" shorter in height than the stock tire. I'd like to see the rim with a 35 or even 40 profile tire.
