Noticed some of the nicer CTS wheels on Craigslist for a good price $1100 w/tires zero miles) so I yanked one off the wife's car to see if it would fit - looks really cool. The Camaro hub is slightly larger and it looks like longer studs are required. Anyone do this or have any advice? Thanks!

 

aren't they smaller than fbody wheels in width?

what size are the tires?

you have any pictures straight on?

 

I dont like the standard CTS wheel but the V2 wheel look SO awesome.

 

Ehh...

 

The wheels are bigger - 18" x 8.5", American made!, same 120MM (4.75") pattern, smaller hub size 67mm vs 70mm on the Camaro, but there is a pronounced lip in the wheel should be easy to trim. 6 5/8 back spacing. Has a very euro look to it on the Camaro. If I have room I will use the Eibach spacers which have a "hub lip" and machine the lip down to fit these wheels. The tires are 235/50/18 Michelins - not as big as I though they were, but they do seem to fill out the wheel well.

I picked them up at lunch, worst case I put them on my CTS and sell the set off the car that has 30,000 miles on them.

Will save my "big tire envy" for the Sunoco '95 we are building and get some nice CCWs!

 

Here they are - actually a different look. People are confused by the car - it looks like a new factory car, but they can't place it. These wheels are the CTS "premium" rims from a 2009. 2007 or earlier use a smaller bolt pattern, but I think 2008-2012 are the same.

We installed a Pro-Kit, tried the 18" wheels (from Craigslist) and the height was too much so we swapped the tires for 40s. The hub diameter issue is the same as Corvette rims, but these wheels had a "lip" which we removed and then they fit perfectly. More of a BMW look than a road racer - but the road racer is in the works with a different car.

 

Hmm ... Idk :/... They look ok.. Maybe plasti dip them??I would wanna see how they look in black

 

Props for trying something different.

 

not to be a negative nancy or debby downer, but i'd roll my stock plastidipped 16" 5 spokes over those. atleast it's different tho

 

They look pretty good. Remind me of Aston Martin wheels.

 

I think the rears need some lip and a little wider.

 

That style of wheel just does not flow well on f-bodies IMHO

 

Put some spacers on the rears and get some plain center caps. They look nice, not over the top for an 18" set.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^ This!!!!!!!!!.

 

I like em!

 

Thanks - I wish they had made these wider, maybe Vette style with larger rear wheel, but even so I think it "freshens" the car's appearance so that it no longer looks sixteen years old.

There are many difference categories of Camaro customization – road racer (Sunoco), drag racer, pro-street, custom, etc., and they all have their place. I would call this just an upgraded stock appearance.

 

Ive been looking for some new CTS-V wheels and cant find any for less than $2k.

 

ehh I like your fence in the driveway

 

The G8 GXP wheels are the same size and width as the new CTS-V wheels. The new Camaro wheels are also wider in the rear but come in 20" rather than 19" diameter.

 

Thought I would share..my wife's H/C ss with 2010-12' ctsv 19/9 and 19/9.5 wheels..black,look badass but are for sale ATM sacramento ca located and not looking to get a arm and a leg for them either,$800 with Pirelli's!!...this should give u guys the best idea,no wheel spacers..could use a tiny one in the rear like 1/4 inch...
