My dad just got a 2010 SS and has already put an intake, exhaust and a 100 shot on it and is looking for a set of slicks now. Should he get 15x10 wheels? What backspacing? He has 550hp and 630ft/lbs of tq, should he go with a 26x10'' tire or a 28x10.5? Thanks for the help!

 

He is going to need an 18" rim to clear those brakes. I would get a tire with a height of about 28", much smaller and it will look stupid. A popular choice seems to be the 18" Z06 rims which only need a small spacer to bolt up, but I am not sure of the backspacing.

 

I completely forgot about the huge brakes.

 

Ditch the brakes and put v6 brakes on it. Then you can run a 16" wheel.

 

I don't think so...

 

I havent seen pictures of one yet with drag wheels. I'm guessing not to many people want to give up their brakes to fit a smaller wheel. Would look cool with some monster meats on the back i think though.

 

this is what i'm talking about. Obviously this is a photo shop and would require some huge mods but still i think it looks badass

 

17" bogarts clear the brembo's




They look sweet but are not for the faint of wallet

Those are sexy. So I am going to need 17'' wheels, what backspacing though?

 

A 17x12 rear and 17x4 front CCW classic should also clear ....at least they DO clear the 06-10 Z06's 14" brakes . $2600 for just the wheels though . Theres alot of pretty serious 17 and 18 drag radial choices now at least . On the cheap side , your kinda at a loss other than the 18" Z06 Replica .

Damn , that stripe looks good on the crystal red SS ...only stripe combo on a 5th gen Ive actually liked .

 

that car looks amazing with bogarts

 

2 of the 3 fastest 2010 Camaro's in the country run 6 cylinder brakes.

 

They probably have parachutes too.

 

I love & want the Bogarts, but I'm stuck with 18" C6 wheels with 315-35-18's on them. Once I get my 3.73's & have the shorter wheel, she should 60 really well. The wheels they are compared to are 305-35-20 Nitto 555r's, the 18's are Toyo Dr's, really like them so far. Sorry for the quality, Iphone pix.

I will end up with the bogarts one day soon.

 

I don't, none of us do.

 

So an 18" C6, non Z06 will work to huh? Interesting.

 

I thought we could run a 18" c5z wheel without spacer...no?

 

C6 Z06 wheel only wheel that doesnt need the spacer. C5 Z06 wheels do need the spacer.

 

how much spacer do we need though?

 

+1? Also, what's the cheapest route?
