New Rims?
What is the best size of rims to have on a camaro and what do i need to know about buying new rims?
What do u guys think of them Iroc replica? I don't want my car to look stock, but i like the way the replicas look. Do u think the iroc replicas make it look too stock?

Re: New Rims?
Firstly......Welcome to the board.
Your question really is a loaded one. Everyone has their own opinion on what rims look best (usually theirs) and what sizes best suit the car. Some people do not like big (17 or 18") rims and some do.
It really boils down to personal preference. There are lots of threads with different wheels combos if you do a search. Start with the appearance section of this forum.
You need to understand back space (bs) and offset. Again do a search and learn what you can. To play it safe I would say no more than 5.5" bs (backspace) on the rear and 5" on the front...on a 17" or 18" wheel.
The IROC replica is a very nice rim. 'Sickness91Z' has 18" on the front and 20" on the rear. Since the wheel is a 18" x 8" rim with a 4.5" bs the wheel will fit just fine.
Personally, I also like the American Racing Torqlite (polished) it has the same dimensions and bs as the IROC.
It still boils down to personal preference.....Good luck
