New take on 16X8 Camaro Stockers
scrapping the chrome finish(not my taste) sanded down and prepped for GM Gunmetal Metallic....similar to cyber gray metallica but a bit darker.
They will then be wrapped in Riken Raptors 225/50/16 front and 295/50/16 Mickey Thompson ET street DRs
when I'm done and mounted I'll post some pictures and yall can tell me your opinions
this is my temporary solution until I get my custom C6 ZR1 17"s gunmetal.

Black Plasti-dip... I'm waiting for this weekend to do the prep work and paint because its rainy and cold until then. So hopefully by sunday y'll can see how they look gunmetal metallic. In 2 weeks I'll have my 295/50 Mickey Thompsons on the back and my Riken Raptors up front.

Yes it will fit on a 16x8 wheel. I had a set of BF Goodrich Radial T/As on mine, Long time ago.
Heres the 295/50/16s on my stock z28 wheels.

do you have any pictures of you car from the rear with the 295s?
I figure as much that I have to do the BFH mod maybe spacers? My car is stock ride height for now that will change but that is with a new set of wheels and tires.

If the 295/50s will go on an 8" stocker, then maybe I was too worried about putting a 265/45-16 Ecsta XS all around on my stockers??!

My guess is that he's going for the 'streetable' front skinny/big drag radial rear setup, but I personally would still go with a 225/55-16 tire on the front, NOT a 50 series profile.

Front will fit with no modification but since I already have to do the BFH mod, all I have to do is cut the bump stop, get a 1/4 spacer and roll the fenders, basically everything that you would have to do to get anything larger than a 295 on an 18 or 315 on a 17. The only extra thing I have to do is get tubular control arms.
I am also putting CTS-V brakes on...
