Planet LSX Camaro gets new wheels (22")
#21
So you own a brand new muscle car you go and put 22's on it...why???
If you want to fill the wheel wells out use some slicks....
Not feeling it, and don't feel that these size rims belong on any performance car...what is the rolling resistance on those heavy a$$ things???

To me, 21s are perfect for the new Camaro. Problem is, nobody makes **** for tire sizes/choices in 21s. 20s with an aftermarket lip look smaller than stock, since the stock wheels have spokes that lead all the way to the edge of the wheel. The factory 20s look larger than normal due to the spokes being longer. You'd need aftermarket 21s to make them visually the same size as the factory 20s. But, then you have the tire limits mentioned already.

For all the big wheel haters, here is a photo I just snapped to help illustrate why 22s fit the 2010 Camaro. The tires themselves are 3 inches taller than what you are used to seeing. 29" OEM tire vs a 26" 4th gen sized tire. This is an 18" CCW vs 20" 2010 wheel.
Here is how an 18" wheel would look with the proper 29" tall tire:

Take a gander at DSE's similar-colored "mule" and it's dropped suspension.
Nice ride ya got!
Have you weight figures for the mounted 22's vs. the factory wheels/tires? And, in your varied fitments, which wheels/tires/sizes are showing weight DECREASES? I appreciate the info.

Somebody Photoshop this up under the backend of that Camaro.

Not diggin' it. Lowered it'd look better of course, but I'm feeling the multi-spoke look on the Camaro. I could see them on an Audi, 370Z, M3 or something of that nature, but not here. Something with five thicker spokes would look killer. That or a mesh wheel. Not big on the thin spokes and convex bow they've got.

Looks good Tony. Those cars (and wheels wells) are so big that a 21" or a
22" wheel looks right at home IMO. Great choice in wheels as always.
I'm sure you'll be modifying this car much more per your normal addiction.
Make sure to drop it a little bit. Some big 6 piston Brembos up front would look badass
too.
On a side note, it's like everyone here has forgotten who you are already.
You're probably one of 5 guys that has actually put some real track time in, yet people
are giving you some **** over your daily driven street wheels. Kind of funny. I'm sure you
have some Bogarts or something ready to roll.
