The 91/92 16" wheels, were not JUST a Z28 wheel. The RS could have them too, as a factory option. My 92 RS did, and wasn't unusual.

Don't know if I missed it but what size tires do you and your brother run? I am looking to put a set of 18x8 all around and would like to know what size tire to run! Any help would be great.

Re: New wheels are installed, pictures inside

My wheels:
Rear: 20X8 (i know, I wish they were wider) P245/35/R20
Front: 18X8 P245/35/R18

My brother is running 18X8 all around with P245/50/R18's on all fours.

Re: New wheels are installed, pictures inside

The wheels look nice. Personally I think the tt2's set your car off better, but I may be slightly bias in that opinion. I do think the 20's are far to big though... A custom wheel set would definately be the way to go. Paint looks great by the way.

Re: New wheels are installed, pictures inside

the thirdgen body style isn't the best body style to go with a staggered wheel. But, the staggered look looks way better with a larger set of wheels...than with a smaller set. I honestly wanted them in a 19/20 combo, but, 19's weren't available. Like I said before, I really liked the look of the blue camaro with the 18's in the front and the 20's in the bacl...it gives it a little bit of a rake. Anyhow, I won't have any side shots yet, it's like 30 degrees here all of the sudden, so the car is still in the garage. I did take a few more pictures of the 20's though. I really don't think these 20's are over the edge in the back at all, they close the wheel gap great. I may end up going a little lower though, still deciding on air bags at the moment.
