Default WTB Race Star Wheels Need Some Advice....

So I am wanting to buy some Race Star wheels for my DD Camaro. Currently have 17" C5 Y2ks in the front & 18's in the back. Love the look but there just to big to me now haha I have stock gears, brakes, & a 10 bolt Ill be throwing M/T on the rears & will be upgrading to a 9" or 12 bolt with some gears soon.

I was wanting to get 15x10 for the rear but don't know what back space would be best? And I'm still deciding what size to get for the front. Since I DD my car I don't want something real skinny. I was thinking 15x5, 15x7, or 17x8? What do you guys think? Thanks!

You need a 7.5" BS on your rears for them to fit right.
Since you DD the car, I would do some 17x8s up front.
Don't launch it hard on the M/Ts til you get a rear

Yea I have a friend with 185/55/17 skinnies up front but that's just to skinny for daily driving....

Just be forewarned... My 10 bolt didn't survive my 1st track day on DRs.

Haha great...... Yea I need to invest in a 9" or 12 bolt. That's the thing with 10 bolts some manage to last for quite a bit but others not so much.
