bigger is not always better. that makes it look like a "g" ride. 20's would be perfect i think.

"G-Rides" don't have performance inspired wheels that are multi-piece and forged. They like cheap cast chrome **** instead. Here is an example:

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:

Looks very nice!! As long as you appreciate it others will too, you can't do anything without at least one person disliking or hating.... I know, put some 17" TT2's or c6's and it would be praised!

Theres no point in explaining it to some people. Anything lower than 20's on the new camaro will have too much wheel well space or too much tire.

Never liked 6 spokes on Camaros....I think 21"s would of looked fine if you lowered it and had the right rubber.

I dont know why but the rivets just got old in my opinion.

I've seen a few of your previous cars and you really have good taste...not sure why I'm not feeling these wheels....

Dont concern me....it's your ride and your money so who cares! Good Luck

Tony
I think a lot of people didn't read that part... To make it look absolutely killer I would increase the front lip slightly by setting the face further back (looks like there is room as it looks like the center part is pretty thick, pushing it out) and then work on tucking the back in like you said (or tucking it in AND give it more lip at the same time.

Main thing is since the spokes curve out and back it makes the lips seem smaller than they are so they need more lip to compensate IMO...

It looks pretty good. Those tires are an extremely low aspect ratio, maybe that's throwing people off. There's not much tire there.

But again, no matter what rim you use, it's going to be big, so you can't sit there bitching about "giant rims". Its the nature of the car.

probably same as is offered now. nitto makes a 305/45/18
they make drag radials for trucks and they need a taller tire for everything to look right. only thing is that they are for heavy load and a bit stiffer
