Default Wheels & Tire size on 02 Camaro

I have a silver 2002 camaro. I bought the car with c5 corvette wheels that are painted black ( something like this but black http://htsmall.ecklerscorvette.com/a.../sku/38377.jpg )
I however am not a fan of black wheels. And im not well traversed in the wheel and tire world, and i wanted to hear and see what you guys are using.
I like torque thrust style wheels but they are regarded as mustang wheels and i cant have that lol.
This was one of my other choices http://images.wheelpros.com/csAR8834.png
if you could show me what you have on your silver car that would be great.

Now the other problem. Since im changing the wheels out i can get bigger tires (currently using 275's) ive heard you can get up to 315's under there without major modifications... how? obviously take the bump stop off and is that it? then do you just run without a bump stop?

Torq thrusts 2 is no where near a mustang wheel. Maybe the TTMs. Your second choice in wheels is ugly. Deep dish c5 wheels with the gun metal centers would look good, or some corvette spyders. 18x9.5 fronts, 19x10 rears.

Yea i agree that second choice is ugly, i just like 5 spoke wheels and that was what i found at the time. I like those ccw sp500 which look to be the same as the c5 wheels. i think thats what im going to go with
I just dont know what size tire now

Yeah SP are waaaaay expensive. If I had a silver Camaro which is one of my favorite colors I would go TT2 or 18 in C5 Z06 wheels.. Those wheels look sick on any fbody

i like the tt2, but i was always told they were like mustang wheels. The car has c5 wheels painted black and i dont think they look bad except i dont like black if they were chrome id keep them.

Bump. Still looking on what tire size to do and what you do with the bump stop... Was thinking 315's but they seem like too much of a pain to fit in there.
