ZL1 wheels on V6?

Can you put bigger tires and wheels on V6 without beefing up suspension? Has anyone done before and how does the front end feel when driving?

Yes. You don't need suspension mods to fit wheels. OEM wheels across the Camaro line up will work on the V6.

I have oem 10 spokes, not mounted yet (but I have suspension mods) not related to wheel change though

Front and rear fenders as well as position of the suspension are all the same on these cars....just bumpers and trim change (brakes of course).

If you already have 20's on the car I doubt you notice to much of a ride change, but grip will certainly improve because of a wider foot print and more rubber to the ground.

Anyone know the weight? My understanding is they are forged, however with larger tire it may be a wash compared to SS tires/wheels.
