Upgrading from stock LS wheels/tires - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've got at least 47K miles on these bad boys and I'm getting a ridiculous amount of squeaking/screeching on your faster turns. They're visibly worn out as well. Would anyone know a decently priced wheel that resembles or at least is similar to the stock Camaro aluminum wheels? I want to upgrade the performance aspect but I like the stock look so I don't want to stray to far in terms of aesthetics. Also what tires do you recommend? Preferably one rated to at least 150 mph (I won't be going that fast in an LS lol but better to keep the ceiling high) I've had my PCM flashed but knew my stock LS wheels are only rated to about 122 so I haven't driven her at speeds higher than that

EDIT: I just realized I've posted this in the wrong forum, could someone move to to the wheels and tires sub?

Shelly, are you wanting to keep the wheels and tires the same size on all 4 corners? as in the same size's? you have a few options for you to consider.

#1: You could pick up a set of "take off's" (20's) off of an SS or a LT/RS that had/has the same 20's on it. In that stock arrangment, the front and back wheels/tires are different sizes.....and will directly fit on your LS.

#2: if you want to keep the same size tires on all 4 corners so you can still rotate your tires, you can get 4 of the 20" REAR's and run those all the way around. There are a LOT of us that are doing that very thing, one that has.

#3: OR you could buy a set of 20's reproduction wheels from somewhere like "Factory Reproductions" that are the same size and look as the 20" factory rims. You can actually buy those at any DISCOUNT TIRE as well AND do the same thing by putting the REARS on all for corners.

obviously its all up to you, but those are some options for you to consider.
