willtheyfit.com is a pretty useful site
I've really got the itch to get some new wheels on my Camaro, trying to get some idea's from F-body websites hasn't been helpful as they tend to fit the most backspacing they can and are really against aggressive fitment. Currently I have Corvette Y2K's, 17x8.5 +56 front and 18x9.5 +63 rear and 2" adapters all around. Tires are 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear. I also have a second set of wheels that fit a lot better; '01 Camaro SS wheels 17x9 with 285/40/17 tires. My bolt pattern is the deal killer when it comes to trying to find wheels, 5x120.65 (5x4.75). I don't want 17's or staggered diameters, so I'm looking for 18's or 19's that are at least 10" wide front and up to 12" wide rear. I also prefer 5 spoke and split 5 spoke wheels with lots of dish. Seeing as how nobody has really ever stanced one of these I'm kind of in uncharted territory here. Can anyone list some suggestions for wheel/sizes/tires? This is what we're dealing with here...
18x9.5 +63 with 2" spacer. 275/40/18 tire.
17x8.5 +56 with 2" spacer. 245/45/17 tire= super sunk.
17x9 +46 with 2" spacer. 285/40/17. (car was raised 1.5")

I've got a close idea to the offsets that I want to use but I'm more looking for suggestions on what wheels would look good on this car

Nice Z28! This has always been one of my favorite American cars. 18's will look good in my opinion! I've never seen an "aggressive" fitment done to one of these, so your build should be an intersting one!![]()
Meh, I've seen them on a third gen before. Don't get me wrong they really are an awesome looking wheel, I just want to run a wheel that nobody else has on a Camaro. I'm trying to steer clear from CCW's, HRE, Boze, etc. I've been making a list of wheels I'd consider but I need to run through it again and narrow it down due whether any of them are offered in 5x120.65 (5x4.75). If possible, I want to avoid having to run adapters, unless I find some Mercedes, BMW, etc wheels that I like.

Well I'm 99% sure I've made up my mind. It's gonna be either Work Meister S1's or SSR Professor SP1's. Specs will be:
18x11 +10 front with 275/35/18
18x12 +25 rear with 305/35/18
Theres still a little wiggle room and the sizes arent set in stone but thats pretty close to what they will be. Only shitty thing is that I won't be able to order them till this time next year, gotta save up.
