Anyone have a lowered camaro running oewheels deepdish c5s 18x10.5s all around. i currently have the 17/18 c5 deep dish on my car but planning to run 18x10.5s all around. I hope to find out if anyone (lowered) is having clearance issues, rubbing, etc. What tires are you running up front. most of the guy on this forums running this setup are not lowered. Im running eibach sportlines about a 1.75" drop. Any help will be appreciated. thanks

Or...wait til feb for the 18x9.5's like me

Just found out they are not making the c5 Deep dish gunmetal 18x9.5s. they are only making black and chrome. since i already have the 17/18 combo, and i already have the a pair 18" tires i might as well just buy 2 rims. besides its just about than 300 shipped to hawaii. i WISH they made my rims in a 18x9.5 size...hint, hint Lance @ OEWheels!! LOL

I'm running 295/25/18 Pirelli P Zero Rosso's up front now. I test fitted the 315/30/18 Pirelli's up there and they fit also. The front doesnt rub but the rear does on the inside, needs more clearancing

I am running 18x10.5" all around and Im dropped on Sportlines . I am running
295/35/18's on the fronts and 335/30/18's on the rear . Havent got to drive
it yet but it looks great so far

Nice cars guys. anyway how did you get 295s to fit in the front? I have 295/35/18 toyo proxes tires but when i line them up to my car it looks like it wont fit. about 3/4 of an inch too tall. is it because i have 265/40/17 in the front? will the 295/35/18 lif the car a little?

are you guys using longer studs for the front 18x10.5's with spacers?

808z28camaro

Well im trying to find that out for the front too. lol. But for the rears im using s 5mm spacer with extended reach lugs (acorn+shank) just so i didnt have to change studs (save money). the lugs grab over 8 turns (rule of thumb is minimum of 5 turns)on the stock stud. the stock style lug without the extended shank only grabbed 3 turns. As for being a safety issue, from what i understand a lot of road racers/ scca guys use this setup so i guess it should be good for daily driving.

here is the comparison of the lugs stock vs extended

I've got 1/4 spacers for the front, where did you buy those extended lugs? I running 18x10.5's on all 4 corners.
