22" replicas

I know there are a lot of threads about the 22" replicas but I can't seem to find how they ride compared to stock. I was also wondering if there is anyone with an ls model with 22s? I am just curious how the ls brakes handle 22s. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

There are some that say it shouldn't have a V6 for this same reason... Just saying.

Hahahahaha!!
niCe one, but come on man, the v6 is a Camaro and Camaros are defined as american muscle cars...anyhow, lets not get into this long-ass arguement. This segment has its muscular structure, design and powertrain, when we put a larger wheel (over 20"), it just ruins its image.

I love when people say anything larger than 20's dont belong on a Camaro. I remember when 18's where factory rims and everyone said 20's look terrible. Now 20's are factory and the comment you hear is anything over 20 "just ruins its image". Whats gonna happen when Camaro's comes factory with 22's... Not to mention the 21" wheel is a factory option. Seems like you all let the dealer decide what looks best in "YOUR" opinion.

It is difficult for me to disagree with you more. Even the Concept had larger wheels than the 20s you propose as a max. I think 22s are perfect.
