If getting aftermarket rims, how much wider can you get with the camaro? Fronts and rears?

GCguy2169 · 07-31-2008, 06:41 AM

take it no one knows?

How can anyone know? They aren't making them yet.

I'm thinking 9.5 in there rears only because of the IRS. But of course we will not know until it comes out.

You'll have to take several things into consideration when it comes out though.
1. You don't want it to look like Azz by sticking out the side.
2. Rear end and half shaft strength. You could kill components with stickier tires and more surface contact. We'll just have to see down the road..

According to the specs page on the Camaro site, all 4 corners on the LS and LT are 245s. The SS gets 245s up front, and 275s out back (10.8 inches).

What I can't find: is what width tires the RS package gives the car.

Hmmm, good point, all the stuff I see only says 20s. Do the videos from Milford give any visual hints?????

This is from the chat sessions:

24speedzone:
what size are the tires front and back

DougHoulihan:
18 inch tires are all season AL-2 245/55R18. These are BF Goodrich. Stopping distance from 60 to 0 mph is an impressive 132 feet.

19 inch tires are all season AL-3 245/50R19. These are Perelli. Stopping distance from 60 to 0 mph is an impressive 125 feet.

20 inch tires are summer HW-4 245/45R20 front and 275/40R20 rear. Stopping distance from 60 to 0 mph is an impressive 117 feet.

Does that help?

jmliptak · 07-31-2008, 11:19 AM

Maybe, no mention of anything other than the SS sizes, so that seems the most likely by far....

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-31-2008, 11:24 AM

Anybody know what car in particular Doug Houlihan was referring to in that clippit? The various V6 models?

jmliptak · 07-31-2008, 12:02 PM

I think all they had to drive was a couple of RS v6 cars, one red one yellow...

BitchinCamaro · 07-31-2008, 12:11 PM

The way I understand it is:
18s - standard V6 (steel)
19s - optional V6 (aluminum)
20s - Standard on SS and with RS package on V6
21s - offered through GM parts with a credit on the factory wheels/tires

sweet thanks guys...because i've been thinking about getting aftermarkets, but some of the ones I like are sometimes like 10 inch or wider on the rears. I think I may stick with the stock tho, they indeed are sexy. Gm's really stepped up the apperance of their wheels the past few years.
