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

15's on the front and 14's on the rear

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:

Tony, I thought you were not into rivets as you stressed to me...

When going with a true 3 pc wheels, you don't have much choices....

Looks killer to me!!!!!

I like the wheels, but 20" max IMO. Also, maybe because the tire profile is a bit on the low end.

Those 22's still look kinda small for the car LOL.

I really like how it looks, its going to look even better once its lowered.

If 18's look like that, Im curious if Big n' little's are gonna be way too small for that car.

The smallest wheel that will fit on the 2010 SS is 18". You would have to put some puny brakes on it to clear drag wheels.

LOL, so 18's on a 5th gen is going to be the equivalent 15's on 4th gens as for drag setups

Can't wait to see one with some nice Bogarts. I plan on buying a new SS around this time next year, hopefully a little sooner but no rush. I don't wanna own myself with a huge payment, going to school and work.
