Just picked these up from another forum member, they are 2010 Camaro wheels that are 19x8 fronts and rears widened to 19x9....seem to fit really nice with the 3/4 drop kit and rolled fender lips.
Just added some more pics to show what it looks like from the front and back looking down the sides....helps show the offsets more. I know the car is dirty, just got back from the beach haha
Yep, in fact, they are bumped out about 10mm farther than stock 17's, so when you look down the side of the car from the front or back, they look sooooo proper haha, have to get a shot of that I guess
Thanks! It's hard to tell from the pics but they have a lot of shape to them when you're up close too. I'm really going to have to get some shots down the side of the car at different angles, the pics don't do them any justice.
I would imagine 19" tires demand a healthy price increase from the stock 17 or 18. Keep that in mind when you decide to upgrade. That said, the camaro wheels look great!
Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words! I just edited the original post and added some pics of looking down the sides of the car to show how the offsets work out. Here's another pic that I couldn't fit in the first post....
That really is awesome. Definitely an option now that I am looking for some aftermarket wheels. I always wondered how these would look, but never pictured it looking this nice. Kudos for trying something different! Really came out sharp.
sorry, I believe they are 275-30-19's on the back, typo on my part haha...but 20" wheels were available on the camaro ss, but I don't think our cars pull off 20's very well, IMO
These look great for all the same reasons the OEM 18's look good. I really like them, wish they made our 18's in a 19-inch size. Fills out the car better, IMO. Would someone with stock suspension need rolled fenders to run these wheels?
I believe with stock suspension, you would only need the front fender lips rolled, but it's worth it without a doubt, I mean, you can rent a fender roller for like $30-50 and then you just watch how to do it on youtube haha
for some reason i feel they look better on yours than the previous owners... i saw the f/s posting and thought "meh, camaro wheels don't fit the lines of our cars well"... but they look pretty good on yours... weird... maybe because you have a PBM like me :boink:
Thanks haha, yeah I agree. I def think they look a lot better on a PBM and his was also stock suspension, I think the 3/4 drop kit on mine really helps the looks with these wheels a lot, it's just the right wheel gap.
I can tell you, I've had a couple sets of tires now on the GTO and I am extremely impressed with these Kumho Ecsta run flats that were on these wheels when I got them. They are great tires in all conditions including pouring rain, and I fully intend to buy another set of these tires.
Good choice. I think it was driven in the winter in Ohio for the first few years of life, but it never saw rain for the three years I owned it, let alone salt!
Hey, klpossinger you got me hooked. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for answering my PM's. I got the wheels, they are in the mail : http://goo.gl/MNbv8 . Next week I'll take em to Weldcraft, in Livonia, then I'll find a place in SE Michigan to roll my fenders. We'll keep you posted.
P.S. : If you ever come to Michigan, let me know. Cuz you'll probably have 10000000 beers coming your way at the speed of light lol
No problem and I wanna stay updated on your progress! If you have any more questions, just give me a shout and if I ever make it up to Michigan I'll be hitting you up for sure haha
yeah, unfortunately, it sees a lot of rain now since that's all it seems to do here anymore but you can't help that....as soon as the water stops beading on it I'll have to wax it again I guess...it'll get a real good cleaning before the winter. Oh, I also got the seams on the rear seats sewn as well!
