Mine are 18's, what do you think. Are these the type of rims you want?

**mr_r0bert0** · 11-19-2008, 04:19 PM

how much did you pay for them and how wide are they

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 11-19-2008, 04:25 PM

They are either 9.5" or 10" wide, I'm pretty sure its 9.5, when I bought the car, the guy was going to put the stock rims back on there, but I offered him and extra $300 to keep them. But I'm sure if you looked around you could find a great deal. I just bought a new set of black 17" ZR1's with drag radials on the back for $500

I run 18s, they are not too big.

I have 17/18 combo and love how it looks and handles.

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 11-19-2008, 10:05 PM

**NavdeepWS6** · 11-19-2008, 10:19 PM

i bought my trans am with a 18/20 combo now those 20's are too big i like 18's so i bought 2 18in rims for the rear just need to pay them off and get the other 2 then she will be looking good instead of having mismatched rims

Here's my Camaro with 20's. I no longer own it, I bought the rims used from a friend of mine. They were 20" by 11.5" wide. I was running 305's all the way around. Yes they would rub, but only in hard cornering, even after much altering.
In retrospect, I would not have bought them, I would not recommend going any larger than 19 at the most, with 18 being the most desirable. Just my opinion.
People either loved them, or hated them, I got a lot of compliments on them, and a few people said they were too big.
I learned to hate them in time, but I sold the original rims.

18's will fit they may rub a little

but the main thing is 18" tires are alot more expensive

just something to think about

**Lutzfire24** · 11-20-2008, 06:18 AM

Go with 19"s, only cost a little more and look way better!

**Midnight02** · 11-20-2008, 08:43 AM

My $.02 is that 18's are ideal for our cars (from an appearance standpoint). I still have the stock 17's on my car, however I will likely upgrade to the 18" C6 wheels in the future. I think most of the rims that are larger than 18" simply look too big on our cars.

**migueelw** · 11-20-2008, 09:23 AM

18's are the way to go. I have TSW Jarama. 18. 8(f) 18. 9.5(r) I get complimented on mine all the time.

**Spikito** · 11-20-2008, 12:07 PM

mine are 17X9.5, i dont see 18 being a problem. the main reason i didnt go with 18's is because i couldnt find a set that was the same width front and back, and tire cost....i do a lot of driving.

**The Guz** · 11-20-2008, 12:33 PM

I had 18x9.5 C5 Z06's all around. They look great in 18's. I have seen them in 17's and the Z06 wheels look to small.

**hamburger68** · 11-20-2008, 02:15 PM

18s look good and handle really well, too. I run 18x8 and 18x9, 35mm offset, no issues with rubbing.

**blk_ss02** · 11-21-2008, 09:36 AM

i run 18 in front and 19 in back c6 rims on mine and the look great they give it a very aggressive stance and only rub when theres 3 or more people in the car, i also use bf goodrich kdw t/a 245/40/18 in front and 295/35/19 on back i love this setup
