Widen existing rims? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've got stock 20" 12-13 SS rims. I've had them powder coated gloss black and I love the look... But I'm trying to get more tire in the rear. Has anyone had these widened to fit 305 or 315s? Is there an aftermarket rim that is a replica already available as a 10" wide?

If those are the stock SS rears on your car in the pictures the rears would only be 9" wide, not 10. Can't really tell from the pictures from the rear. But your avatar pic looks like stock 8" fronts and 9" rear wheels if those are still on the car. Or did you have the widened like the OP is asking?

2014 2SS/RS L99 9" in front, 10" in back.

So you had them widened? Or are they reproduction wheels? Because stock those are 8" front and 9" rear.

the polished aluminum wheels were a $900 upgrade and they were 9" fronts and 10" rears.

That is incorrect. The polished wheels are no wider.

I saw a camaro with 20 305 drag radials. Been running that combo for years at the track with no issueson srock rear rims. But you will get people telling you not to go wider on stock titems . I have 295 20s on the back of my car with zero issues.

DUDE!!! You may very well be right!

OKAY, so I finally figured out where I got the idea that my polished aluminum wheels were 9" and 10" -- on the Chevrolet website, where you could build your 2014 Camaro the option stated the polished wheels were 20 x 9 and 20 x 10.

Now I have no idea what size my wheels are.
Y'all say 8" & 9", you may very well be right.

Currently I'm running Pirelli P Zeros 275/40ZR20 fronts and 305/35ZR20 rears. They're not too bulggy and they fit fine, no rubbing, road tested fine, took it to two different mechanics, the wheel shop and my regular mechanic and they both said they were fine.

Should I be worried? I don't track. I daily drive about 0.5 miles a day. And I have been on the freeway with these tires - highest speed, prbly 88, don't plan on going much faster ever, and definitely NO burn outs.

Will I survive?

As stated, the wheels in the pictures of your car are 8s and 9s for sure. There is no 9s and 10s option for 5th gens from GM. That said, you should be fine with the wheels and tires you are running. A 305 on a 9" is wide and isn't ideal but you should be okay judging from the driving habits you listed.
