What offset? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Was wondering what offset wheel do I need to get. 2011 LS

I want to just swap out the stock LS 18" rims with some better looking aftermarket rims and put the stock tires back on but need to know what offset is best to get.

I wish this wasnt the wifes car or I'd put some 22's on it but I would kill her after she curbed them. lol So 18's will stay.

Thanks guys!

The offset depends on the width of the wheel. For example, the stock LS wheels are 7.5 inches wide with a 38 mm offset, but the wheels I have now are 9 inches wide with a 25 offset. There is usually a range of offset's that will work for a given wheel width.

These wheels do work, if you like them.
