Guys, this is just the car show setup. These cars come with 21s from the factory, so this is really just a +1 sizing for the 2010 Camaro. Also, the tires on 4th gens are 26" tall, and the tires on these 5th gens are nearly 29" tall. The proportions are the same as putting 18s or 19s on your 4th gen. 22 sounds huge, but it scales to fit the car properly. I'll get some lightweight 20s made for the performance testing. These are just the bling rollers

The car will get a full Pfadt suspension kit, consisting of coil-overs and 3-piece sways, as soon as they become available. I can't wait.

The Magnacharger TVS2300 showed up yesterday too.

I'll do that once the Camaro is lowered, a nice shoot. Right now, it makes the Camaro look like an SUV parked next to the Z06.

Looks good, can't wait to see the finished product (correct offset/lowered.)

Here's what it might look like when it's lowered:

Read the response from Tony about why the choice of wheels is that big... Who wants to be the idiot with 19s with a 45 or 55 series profile tire to match stock height. My 315/25/19s are 25.6 or 25.7" tall or so. The new F-body has a 29" tall tire so think about what profile tire you'd be running.... But it's ok if you want your Camaro to look like it's ready to go off-roading then sure... go for it!

Damnit Chris, how dare you get all technical and use common sense. Nobody will listen

Some of these kids are still trying to figure out how to put 14" wheels on their 4th gens...because the tires are cheaper.
