11.0 +50/+56 tire size 275/285/315
17x11's. Always a possibility of needing the BFH and fender rolling mods with 315s. If lowered an Adj Panhard rod comes in very handy. Some have used the +38 offsets with 11" but it does stick outside the fender and is definitly not recommended on lowered vehicles. +50 and +56 are the two most common. +50 is the best fit. for race only applications a 17x11 at all 4 corners can be made to fit.

Someone should take these simple question/answers and put them in a sticky. The question/answer thread already there is huge and scares most people away. This question has been asked at LEAST a dozen times.

perfect, just what I needed to know. I am looking at these rims: http://customwheelsmarket.com/d24071342.html
with a 315/35 17 on it for the back. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...15&ar=35&rd=17

any experience or comments about that wheel company would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure to get the 50 mm offset. fits best on the 11" wheel for the Camaro.

I did a search, wasnt finding the info I wanted. I found what will work, but was not able to find which is best "stated". Also I looked at the sticky but still wasnt exactly sure. Sometimes you need to lead the horse to water and raise the trough to help them drink it.
I run seaches all the time before I post, a lot of searches.

"Make sure to get the 50 mm offset. fits best on the 11 wheel for the Camaro. xsta z28"
was what I wanted to hear, thx to all who posted
