finally got the wheels on

18X9.5 w/53mm & 275/35/18
18X11. w/53mm & 295/35/18
2" hubcentric spacers on all four

I think the Camaro rear quarter panels can hold a little more tire than the firebird. I am going to have to measure both my cars and see for sure

Very nice looking car.
Very clean and the wheels compliment it nicely.

Wheels will make or break a car and those are a nice pick.

If you ever get the chance (new paint/etc )I would remove the side molding.

Thanks!
I agree that the rims can make or break the look of a car. I have been happy with most of my choices except the all black wheels I put on my Indy Fiero. It just don't have the look I thought they would.

Looks amazing! I just picked up a set of OEM C6 ZO6 Wheels for my IROC... got to figure out what spacers to get but I can't wait to get them on. Seeing yours verifies my decision to go that route... beatiful car man!
