Yes 18's will work. Remember when ordering either call me directly or reference "Rudy/Camaro5" as your previous sales contact and I will review your order personally.

Thank you for looking into this. I'll probably wait until my camaro gets delivered to order them, so hopefully you will still have some in stock.

We should be okay.

Rudy, I have been doing some checking on Tire rack recently, in order to see if I could get a more accurate estimate of what the cost for my winter tire and wheel package was going to be.

In the last few days, I noticed that they were no longer listing the Blizzak WS80 tires for my Camaro.

Last night, I checked again, and the mobile website indicated that there were no longer any 18" or 19" snow tires that will fit my Camaro, for this season.

Is this accurate? Is Tirerack.com completely out of both 18" and 19" winter tires, that will work on Camaros? Is there any chance that more will be arriving, or do all of us need to start looking elsewhere for our snow tires?

i currently only have two 245/50/20 blizzak tires that I used for my rear to get around last winter. Before I buy two more so I have a full set I would like to see others people's opinion on which size I should get.

1. Buy two more of the same size and run 245/50/20 on all four corners
Or
2. Buy two 275/45/20 and use them on the rears

It seems like the general consensus has been that skinnier tires tend to do better in the snow. I would think the 245s would be your better option.

Okay one more... 245/45/20 for the rear or just buy the same size for all four corners?

Rudy@Tirerack · 11-17-2017, 05:35 PM

Just run the 245/50R20 all the way around if you already have two.

gen5ak · 12-20-2017, 02:22 PM

Well I finally moved back home and I'm going to go put my 245/50/20 blizzaks on today. Anyone know if I need an alignment going from the stock pirellis to these taller blizzak tires?

gen5ak · 12-22-2017, 04:51 PM

Well I put them on and im rubbing on the coil over. Anyone else have the same problem? 2014 Camaro SS and its the stock suspension to my knowledge.

Hey Guys,

I'll be watching this thread over the winter season. If you need help with a winter package please shoot me an email rudy@tirerack.com .

I have a full set of Pirelli 285/35 R20 Sotozero Serie II winter tires that I bought for $1700. I had them on for less than 3k miles. Even have them in the Tire Rack bags. Amazing traction in the rain and on ice.

See ebay listing to purchase. Thanks!

so you can run the OEM 19's on an SS with roller skate pads:

anyone know if this is too little clearance? i've driven around and haven't had issues yet
and you still need a 5mm spacer to clear the calipers on the front!

PDQRS · 09-18-2022, 09:59 AM

Since it's been awhile since anything has been posted about winter tires here, I was wondering what the latest recommendations. I'm running 235/65-17s for a winter tire size on my RS.
