Default Will these Wheels fit...

My stock suspension 95 camaro? I dont want them to stick out from under the side of the fenders and look like some dam hooptie!

Also what tire size could I get by with on these rims with out rubbing any where?

they will fit fine.. and realistically speaking you don't need anything over a 295 rear..and the max i would run up front is a 275..

No stock springs. So 45 up front and 40 in the rear?

40 up front and 35 in the rear is what I'd run if I had staggard fit like that.

I just got 18's all around and I'll be running 275/35-18 up front and 295/35-18 in the rear. W/ the 17's i'd go 275/40-17 then 295/35-18. If you don't mind hammering your inner fenders, 315's always look good, but you said w/out rubbing, so 295 is your best bet.

Do you think it would be better to run one size rim all the way around or is it just my prefrence? Do alot of people run the stag off set?

Your preference if you like the same size wheels all the way around or not. I have a wider wheel in the back, so mine is technically staggered, but it's not two different size wheels. It's your decision and there are quite a few ppl that run the 17/18 combo. If you go same size wheel all the way around (say a 18X9.5) then you could get the same size tires all the way around and then you'd be able to rotate the wheels for extended tire life. A wider tire in the rear always looks meaner though, but it's all in your preference.

If you want the same size wheel (say 18's) and it's not offered as a package on OEWheels website, email Scott at "Scott@oewheels.net" and he'll be able to help you out...great guy to deal with! Or give him a call.

I have the same size on my car, the 40 will rub on hard turns and big bumps, go 275/40/17 285-295/30-35/18.
P.S. if you lift the car with a lift the wheels wont fit they will hit the bump stop, I just cut mine out and they fit fine.

I run a 17/18 Zo6 rim


265/40/17 fronts 8.5 inch wide
295/35/18 rears 10.5 wide

Had to grind out the wheel wells to fit properly in the rear.

What's wrong w/ OEWheels? Apparently you haven't read the NUMEROUS amount of threads that are commenting on how much they LOVE their wheels from OEWheels and how they couldn't be happier w/ them.

Sure, it would be GREAT to have an expensive set of wheels, but then you're CONSTANTLY worried about something happening to your $2,000+ dollar WHEELS....and for the money, these wheels are awesome. I just got a set of C5 DD w/ the machined face and black vents, they're going on tonight. Yeah, they aren't $1,000 per wheel, but who cares, they look good and they're built well!
