I think they are wayyy too big. I wish it was like the 4th gen with 16" and 17". I wonder how much weight they could've saved on the 5th gen if the rims were smaller. Damn cars are porkers. Putting drag rims on these cars will be impossible with those huge brakes. Paying for tires should be nice too - probably $400 just to replace the rears with something decent.

 

16" wheels look horrible on the 4th gens, and would be much worse on the 5th gens. 17" would be pushing it, there is a lot of wheel well to fill out.

 

anything I can mount 335's all the way around for autox
figure the weight will make it similar to my 4th gen with 315's all the way around

 

- Swell isn't something you would hear in everyday conversation either.

 

Here are a couple coming from GM

 

Can you tell my insurance company that. They suck my soul one payment at a time!

 

Everyone who is saying "wheels bigger than 18 is dumb" aren't seeing the point of having to have the bigger wheels. Its all about wheel well proportion.

As demand goes up the drag wheel and tire companies will make tires accordingly and your 17-18" drag wheels and tires will "look" proportionally just like 15 and 16's on your cars now.

As more and more cars are on the road, the 20" performance tires will come down in price too. Look at 20" truck tires. They used to be $400 a tire, and now you can get them for under $200.

Hell, even the station wagon looking Ford Flex has 19" wheels.

 

That doesn't mean it doesn't look stupid to some of us. It is also dumb for performance reasons. You want a slow, heavy car, fine; we don't.

 

Yet 15" slicks look awesome as hell on 4th gens. 20" rims have no business being on any performance car I'll own. I hope they give an option for either of the 18" on the SS, I think those look much better...

 

I think some 18"x12" rims with 345/35/18 tires would look hot as the rear wheels... that would be around 27" tall and 13"-14" tire width. With some lowering springs and that would be my street set-up.

 

The wheels on the ZR1 look too big, and they're proportionate... sort of.

 

the new wheels/tires are 3" taller than the 3rd/4th gens... 245/50x16 vs 245/50x19... same width and sidewall, just a bigger wheel... its all in proportion...

 

Sorry if this has been brought up ready. The poll needed one more option 17" and 18", that is the biggest wheel that should be offered on any production cars. Big wheels are a performance, handling, and braking black hole, lighter rims work so much better.

 

18 inch, not too big, not too small, big enough for the brakes without overdoing it in size.

 

I hope you can fit a set of 18s over those huge brakes, because I hate the 20s.

 

17x9.5 fronts and 18x11s in the rear is my take. But the large brakes they may have to only been able to get the really large rims.

 

i want to see some 18X10 and 19X13 SP500's on a 5th gen.

 

BOGARTS!!!!from the factory!

 

I've never been a fan of too-big a wheel, which is why I never went larger with mine. But as already stated, the tire itself is taller, and the 20" wheels fill out the wheel well better. I saw a Challenger SRT8 recently with 21" iForged wheels... Looked outstanding. I don't see the new Camaro being too different.
