2009 ZR1's on black SS.
Is it possible? Am I going to be the first one on tech to post 2009 ZR1 photos on a Camaro?
Just got them mounted and I took the pictures with my cell phone camera. I apologize for any quality issues. It's still pretty wet outside so I just backed the car out of the garage and snapped these.
18 x 9.5 all the way around. I was a little surprised to see that my fender gap actually increased when I put these one, but I suppose it's due to the fact that the tires have a 35 MM sidewall vs. the 45 MM sidewall that the tires originally had.
I also have KONI S/A's with stock springs. I did the hose mod on the rear springs and used the second perch on the front, so technically the car is already dropped. Looks like I'll have to get some springs if I want the car any lower.
Nitto 555R. Seem like really sticky tires. Can't wait to try them out.

Little too much going on with them.. They really need to make those wheels with a lip. Lower it up and maybe it will look better.. Not my taste, but if you like it, it's all good

The 35mm and 45mm you are refering to, is that the second number in the tire size? That isn't the actual height of the sidewall. That is the aspect ratio, and is a percentage of the section width of the tire. You use that percentage number to find the height of the sidewall. You might have the numbers close though, because you will have a smaller sidewall with an 18 over a 17. If you had the same size sidewall your overall diameter would be huge.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I guess ill go ahead and spill the beans. I purchased them from an online vendor. PM me for the name because its a non sponser, but he was a great guy to deal with. I was nervous as hell at first dealing with them but it turned out all right.
The wheels ran me 890 for a set of 4. Good price imo and I was fully prepared to pay more for them. A lot of places wanted to do the 17s in the front and 18s in the reare combo, and charge me more for 18s all the way around, but this guy did pretty good. I wouldn't run these is 17s. Way to small for what's going on. I would have gone 19, but I didn't want to tyrtry to stuff a 19 in the front and I didn't want to stagger my setup either. I still wanted to be able to rotate the tires, plus 19 is kinda a bastard tire to begin with.
All in all, I'm happy with them. They are a 56 mm offset, same as stock fbody rims. Other places just dealth with corvette offset and wanted to sound offended when I told them I was putting them on a camaro.
