Need Opinions on rear wheel look - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Camero5 · 01-19-2013, 07:10 PM

Guys, what do you think? Today I got my Giovanna Kilis Wheels and I was assured by the wheel dealer that +20 offset would be flush all the way around. The fronts looks beautiful but I'm unsure about the rears. Let me know what you think before I go crazy on the dealer Monday.

What do u think?

alaskacamaro · 01-19-2013, 07:33 PM

Its not a bad look. A lot of guys like the wheels flush but the wider wheels kinda give it that old muscle car look. Of course, its your car so you should always be 100% happy with the look. Not sure why a dealer thought a +20 offset would be flush in the rear....

ss04flores · 01-19-2013, 07:33 PM

That's stupid for them to say +20 is going to be flush all the way around when the vehicle was design to have staggered. I think they stick out too much. On a big bump the fender is going to dig into the tire

RBL · 01-19-2013, 07:37 PM

Sticks out too much and just does not look right.

bannonm · 01-19-2013, 08:05 PM

I would be pissed. That looks amateurish. Did they really think that was right?

bkscott · 01-19-2013, 08:16 PM

Sticks out to far, plus you will have a ton of crap hitting your rear quarter panels.

+1000

You need a +38 in the rear to be flush. There out about 1.25 inch too far. It looks good though. It has the old school look.

Camero5 · 01-19-2013, 09:18 PM

Yeah +38 would be perfect. I was very skeptical on the +20 all the way around and asked 5 diff dealers and all said +20 on these wheels although they sell them in +35 with spacers.

Personally I am having mixed feelings on the way it looks. I've seen this on older muscle cars and some vettes but not on a camaro. Right now it's sticking out about 1 inch. I did some road testing and no rubbing at all (stock suspension).

I wanted to get other opinions and so far it's been mixed. A lot of compliments said it has an aggressive stance and maybe 1 out of 5 said needs to be flush.

I guess I will see Monday when I call the dealer. They said if it isn't flush that they would exchange. We will see.

Thanks for your opinions.

Galaxy_Stranger · 01-19-2013, 10:13 PM

I really like that look.

Thanks, it's growing on me a bit

Rod Knock · 01-19-2013, 10:50 PM

You wouldn't be asking us if you really liked the look so I say take them back to the dealer.

Galaxy_Stranger · 01-19-2013, 10:56 PM

Wouldn't be asking if he didn't like the look ;-p
