Re: 2010 camaro wheels/tires

Fit? With the right spacers sure. Would it look good? 90% of the people here will tell you no, including me.

17" looks good. Some 18" look good. Anything bigger looks out of proportion on a 3rd gen.

There is the mention the ride height increase you'll get. Your talking about a tire that is 3" taller overall. That means you'll be sitting 1.5" higher.

And then there is the issue of tire clearance to the body. 3rd gens do not have 1.5" of clearance over the tires. So you'll hafta put a lift kit on the car.

And then....What about turning? Your gonna hafta be very careful & probably have to fabricate new stops for the spindle.

You can try it, but you'll be in for a world of trouble doing it & making it work.....

Don't believe everything you read. Lots of people are surprised on how well they look on third gens.

You don't need a lift kit either

Re: 2010 camaro wheels/tires

The stock tires on a 5th gen are a 28" tall tire. The stock tire height for a 3rd gen is 25.65". Ideally you'd want to get different tires.
