5th GEN Wheels

Has anyone tried the 5th GEN rims and tires on thier 4th GEN yet? I know of a take off set for sale with little to zero miles on them. 245/20 front and 275/20 rear. Standard polished aluminum wheel. The backspacing looked really close without measuring.

Anybody want to try it out on photoshop first?

Those are 28.68" tall in the front and 28.66" tall in the rear. That would look absolutely retarded on a 4th gen. Go ahead and do it and take pics so we can

OMG now we got another one trying to make their F-Body a "Donk." SMH. If we get much more of this "Donk" stuff on LS1Tech, I just might have to leave...

I KNOW you're not going for the donk look...Just rattling the cages!!

Camaro 396, now that is a really nice car. Very clean! Props to you, keeping both of those cars so clean and living in the rust belt.

Have no fear everyone, no DONKS or BUBBLES allowed in my driveway. Not going to happen!

The 5th gen rim and tire combo belongs on a SUV , not a 4th gen . LOL at the pic of the 5th gen wheel sitting next to a 4th gen .

There was a guy on a G8 forum that put some 5th gen wheels on his G8 GT (I think he went w/a lower profile tire though). It looked really good in my opinion. On a 4th GEN it'd look downright stupid.

Yeah, I could see it working on a G8. But never a 4th gen...
