Re: Biggest Wheels+Camaro=????????

not sure on the maximum tbh. but as a personal preference i believe anything bigger than 18s on a camaro just is a tad overbearing.

That's funny. 16s are economy car tires these days.

Re: Biggest Wheels+Camaro=????????

17" are virtually perfect. 18" in the right style. 19"+ = UGH!

I love my 17" & kinda wish they were the same style, just 18". I was perfectly happy with them being 17"s, until I went shopping for 315s to fit my 17" x 11", did I start kinda wishing they were 18". I'll probably just go 335s for them, next time around.

Re: Biggest Wheels+Camaro=????????

I agree for the most part, except for this car it looks pretty bad ***. I wouldnt put 20s tho. They are just too heavy. I have 18s and wouldnt go bigger

Re: Biggest Wheels+Camaro=????????

It takes exactly the right wheels and stance to pull off large wheels.
^That car got it right.

I agree. Wheels have always been a huge thing for me, but i would never change my stock ones. They look sweet on the car.

I totally agree. I have a 88 GTA and going to put formula wheels on it (keeping the original gold ones...just not on car)
