An no I do not like the look of that Black Camaro, first too low and second the rear tire is narrower then the wheel . . . YUK.
even the 19s would throw off my ABS a litttle, could have been the weight of the wheels as well but the ABS would engage sometimes even when the tires wasnt slipping. scary ****

Im curious to see how it will look. Ive seen tons of camaros on dubs , None ever looked right they look like a horny roach wanting to breed! But those rims you got look good, Im sure you can pull it off.

Do you have to run any hub centric (sp?) rings with thoes since they aren't our exact bolt pattern?

I hope you don't plan on running the stock ride height, yeah it will work but look like crap. You should try to contact people it a similar combo and ask them about their suspension....

Big wheels make the brakes look tiny, in my opinion. Think of that civic we've all seen rolling down the street on 18's.
Not to mention big wheels=little sidewall=big pain to launch and rough ride...

Just my $.02
