18" tire on SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Can it be done?

I've called around, A LOT of wheel companies and they ALL have told me that none of their 18" tires will fit on the SS. But wasn't it posted that all aftermarket places like Hennesey and others with record times, used an 18" wheel?

Does anyone know of an 18" wheel that fits?

Thanks in advance

some 18's will fit, just need the right backspacing and the right wheel design.

I ordered some 18X9.5" I should get them this week. I'll let you know as soon as I get them on the car.

When I talked with the GM guys at carlisle a couple weeks ago they all said the 18" camaro wheels will not fit for the SS because the Brembos are too big.
