I just got off the phone with Zack from "Boze". I'm considering getting a set of "Stingers"...but I'm still not sure if I should get the 18's or the 19's. I believe these wheels will definently update the looks of my car. What do you guys think? The 18's or the 19's?

I personnally like the wheels. They look a little like mustang wheels though. I'd go with 18's just for weight savings, but I drag race. If your all about looks, 19's are good for really filling that wheel well up.

Oh ya, those will look SICK. I went with 18's personally, but 19's would look great too I will tell you that 18's with 35mm tires ride rough as hell. Not sure if 19's are even worse.

Those rims would look good on your car no doubt.

I wouldnt go with anything bigger then 18s. 16s to 18s are just right. any bigger and its just to big for the car. Looks kinda silly imo.

I guess im getting old.......

Looking at those pics the 19s on the rear look good from that angle. But the fronts are to big for the size of wheel opening. IMO.

Crazymaro92z

I would say 18s, and i gotta say man i love what you've done with you car. it looks outstanding.

85maroz28

Go for it.....that will make your car! I would go w/ the 18's! What ya doing w/ the TT'2s if you get the Boze? I am interested if you sell them.

If you use the same diameter tire with a bigger rim it will be a harsher ride. Ride comfort is based on spring rate and height, shock/strut quality and type, and sidewall flex. Bigger tires provide more sidewall flex which keeps road vibrations from being carried to the passenger compartment. A big metal wheel with just a thin strip of rubber doesen't provide a whole lot of protection. Thinner sidewalls do provide a tighter ride with better handling for this same reason

Also the narrower sidewall can cause the tire to blow out more easily. I personnally don't recommend getting the biggest wheels or the tires with the narrowest sidewalls. I wouldn't go bigger than 18's for ride quallity. I would actually recommend 17's. With seventeens you can get the right ballance of ride quallity and performance handling.

18s are my vote

I think they would look great on your car, look at how nice they are on chevyken's car. I would go with the 18's personally.

Didn't someone already photochop those for you with a black center at one time? Who knows . For what the car is mainly used for I would recommend the 19"s. One inch makes a huge difference when filling the wheel well with chrome, and judges will make note of this. If you are still planning on running this around town make a compromise with 19" rear, and 18" fronts.

Search shawn18jgr he has a 19/20" combo that looks awsome!

Anything you do will look great I'm sure!!

No doubt your car would look sweet with those wheels. I want to say fo with 18's but Kandied's car looked sick with the 19's

CrazyHawaiian

I think it would depend on what tire heights you want to use and what sidewall you find acceptable. Running taller tires than stock combined with lowered suspension increases the chances of rubbing/contact. If you can maintain OEM tire heights then its probably less likely you'll have problems with rubbing/contact. Around here a 30 series tire is not streetable, a 35 series is pushing it. Keep your local roads in mind, don't want to damage the wheels after spending all that money. I would run tires with re-inforced sidewalls. Weight is a concern for some, in my opinion both 18's and 19's are heavy so it wouldn't really matter.

That sounds like the best option to me personally. Especially since it would give the car a really tough muslecar look with the bigger rims on the back.

Well, I proably only get my car out a total of 6-10 times a year and I don't race it. So, if I go with 18's, what size tire? If I go with 19's, what size tire? Right now, I'm running 17X8 wheels with P275/40's and lowered with the Eibach Sportline Springs....and I've had NO problems at all with rubbing. thanks for the opinoins

IROCThe5.7L

Those rims look sweet. I'd do the 18's.

brodyscamaro

Go 19"

It's the only way...

Jgolden314

18s

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

I'd say 18's.

The 19's almost look TOO big, and if you want that mean, wide stance, then 19's will definatly be too big for the fronts. I say id you get 18x8.5 or 18x9 that would be the best look and stance for the car. I have a feeling that the 19" wheels in a 9"width will rub ALOT in the front fender wells.

Also, you already know this, but tires on 19" wheels is going to be killer expensive

18inchboyds

you dont drive your car that much and when you do you go to car shows, i think then you should go with the 19inch wheels. And then save up to get air ride because im sure the ride will be horrible with the 19s

any votes for 18's up front and 19's on the rear? Anyone ever seen that type of combo?

Camaroguy18

If I would have seen Jeff's car with 19's before I had purchased my boyds, I would have opted for the 19's

Ditto

This Picture below is a 20rear and 19front. I love the way the front looks in 19's, but def not feelin the 20's in the rear.


I say 19's

I love the 19/20" combo to each his own. Look how good this looks. I know a Camaro is different but I think it fits the car just right. Its all subjective though. There is no wrong or right get what you want.

Jay87Z

iTrader: (2)

I guess I'm the odd man out... I'd get 17's

That car looks bad ***...

Makes me wanna vote 19/20

I vote for 18s. Just because that is what I would get if It were me. either one will be sweet!

blyth18md

go 19's as long as you have the brakes to fill the rims.

rwdtech

please go with 18's

ikillu

I just picked up my 18" boze stingers and they look amazing. Very pricy though. I just realized that if you do get them that our cars will have the exact same hood, spoiler and everthing including the color. TWINS!!

Hey shawn18jgr is that silver vette you pictured yours??? I was in San Francisco over the weekend and saw a car EXACTLY like that at a stoplight by pier 39 area.

yeah, I wanna see a picture of a black 91-92 Z28 with the 18" Boze Stingers. I still can't really picture my car with a set. If anyone wants to buy my TTII's, PM or email me at HoppinSS@aol.com

I say give it a wash and wax and call it a day....... Why mess with perfection....

RSFreak

Its not a 18"/19" combo, but here is a picture of Lance (Blue502)'s '86 Camaro with 18's in front and 20's in back!

Brisk is correct. Your gonna have to wait till april to see it all together.

Remember, the bigger the rim the worse the ride quality - generally.

My '97 came with 20s on it, you wouldn't believe how fast I ripped those off of there.

Steven89Iroc

Another vote for 17's.

conlinj

iTrader: (3)

I vote for the 18" front 19" rear combo, would really look sweet. 18's fill the front in perfect and that extra inch in the rear fills the slightly higher rear wheel gap.
