2023 Camaro 20x9.5 on 5th gen. Rubbing - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I bought these 20x9.5 all the way around and put on some 275 40s. Went to install the wheels tonight. I’ve had all kinds of 6th gen wheels on my 5th gens, but never ran into this problem.
The wheels rub against my front Brembos. Luckily, no damage to the caliper, just rub that wiped off.
Any suggestions? Spacers? Or dismount, sell these rims and start again? Likely a 3mil spacer will solve my issue.

I think a spacer is the cheapest/easiest way to go.

Seeing you’re already brushing the caliper 3mm is cutting it too close. I would go with 5mm billet aluminum to be safe. I got mine from here , won’t be sorry https://www.motorsport-tech.com/

Thank you much. I’m looking for hub centric, these guys seem to have what I need. They’re giving me 4 options for the 2010-2022 camaro. Which one did you choose?

Thank you for the 5mil recommendation. Put the wheels on last night. The front caliper clearance is tight, about 3mils, but we’ll see.
