What size wheel? 20",22",24"?
Ok, there has been some talk and yes I did a search. admititly I am not good with computers and the search on this site does not work well with my lack of understanding of computers.
So here is the question. At what size wheel ( keeping the overall diameter of the stock setup) should I start to worry about my wheel getting bent from a pothole or what ever? I would assume that one could say "go slow over a bump" but lets face it, When I am playing with the camaro, I just want to play. I do not want to spend thousands for a wheel and tire combo that "might" bent in time. Thank you for your time, Bill Baranowski

22's with 30 or 35 series tires and you will be fine.

20s will give you the most protection. 22s will depend on your speed and how nasty the pothole is. Is this a DD or weekend car? If DD id say 20s if weekend car id say 22s

20s are safe. 22s will depend on the quality of the wheel, and the size of the pothole. Cheap wheels bend easier, but no wheel can stand up to a huge pothole.
