Default 2010 camaro wheels?

just looking at chevys website for the new camaro and it showing 21s up front and 22s in the rear, do you guys think that will reach production? and if it does how do you think the car will handle? smaller wheels to fit bigger tires?

your input...

i think the 21/22s will be to esp for some good burnouts, they will be $$$

The production wheels won't be that big.

At this point I'm guessing that 18s, 19s, and 20s will be available.

as a tire guy.....i certainly hope there arent 21.22's on that car......first off for rear end problems....and second as a consumer.....not a sole is going to want to pay rediculous amounts of money for that rubber....
18's and 20's would be great and more economical
otherwise the cars bad ***

Your already going to be dishing out a paycheck, (or two) for a set of tires, last thing you want is to pay extra so tireman can specially order them in

I doubt they will go bigger that 20's. I hope they don't. Replacing tires will be expensive.

I was thinking they'd go with the current Vette setup (18s up front, 19s in the back, I believe), but I agree, I'd rather have the width than the big wheel setup. What fun is the car when you're afraid to abuse it a little cause tires cost too much. We have enough problems with gas.

anything bigger than 20'' will be order only......hope for the sake of all new owners they dont have to see me......you know there wont be a full size 22''-20'' spare.....that means your car will be down till the tires come in.....plus if it is a one off tire they will prob be on back order.....haha

lets hope for 18'' and 20''
