Do the stock 18" black rims fit the SS? Just wanting to use one as a spare for my 2014 1LE

They don't clear the brembos on the front without modification to the caliper.

The front calipers are different from the rear?

Sorry, used to front and rear being different sizes. I guess the brembos are the same size front and rear. It won't clear the calipers, it's why you see a lot of people switching to the v6 brake set up to run smaller rims at the drag strip.

I believe you can grind on the caliper to make those steelies fit, or find a different 18" rim that might clear. But as your car currently sits, those won't bolt on.

What about these 18's?

I am unsure about those, but also suspect the exact same issue.

Some companies make 18s specifically for the SS to clear the brakes, I don't think either of the stockers do.
