New Foose Speed wheels on IOM - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ltdodge · 05-18-2010, 05:28 PM

well I finally decided on some wheels, could not afford the high end wheels so i found these that I love very much.

they are Foose speed 20" x 8.5" and 20" x 10". used the stock Pirelli 275/40/20 up front and Nitto Invo 315/35/20 in the back......YES a 315 fits the 10" wide.

here are the pics, see how much meat they have.....The car is dirty rained yesterday.....and yes I need to armor all the tires. i just got these on.

enjoy..

Those look good

Wheels look nice. Might be the first Foose wheel that I've seen that looks decent on a Camaro.

Front offset looks a bit tucked in too much.
Rear offset looks perfect, but a 315 tire on a 10.0 wheel has too much sidewall bulge.

thanks, im a little tucked in because of my camber on my drop springs, may need to adjust but I have no issues with uneven wear....

JProberts · 05-18-2010, 07:05 PM

Those look very nice indeed.

Any reason why you didn't stay with the stock tires all the way around until they were worn out?

Due you mean for safety or looks? Because I think it looks correct in the pics.
I like the tire to have some sidewall bulge. It looks good and protects the wheel a little.

looks great

HDRS · 05-18-2010, 07:34 PM

Both. Tires aren't designed to support loads with sidewalls bulging like that. The car will handle worse too. Each tire manufacturer has recommended wheel widths for their tire sizes. I also like some sidewall bulge, but not on a low-profile tire. Maybe on an old school 15" musclecar tire

Nitto recommends a wheel width of 11.0 inches for this 315/35-20 tire. Minimum width recommended is 10.5, maximum recommended with is 12.5.
