Does anyone have any info on how much wheel and tire can be stuffed under the rear of the new Camaro?
I'd like to swap the tall & skinny OEM wheels for something a bit more steamrollerish.
Thanks,
Rick

According to Pedders, 12" on the rear.

For those of us who like to have the same wheel/tire set on all four corners, does anyone know if there will be issues if the the wider RS rear wheels are also installed on the front?

Wow, I didn't think these OEM wheels would ever be called skinny. It's not like the old days when they were 6 or 7 inches wide!

Pete also said that he believes 11" wide can go on the front (:eek:), if that helps.

for autox duty it would be the ay to go as steering is everything.
took a tpe measure to one and it seemed to have less fender clearance than the 4th gens :( which run 315/35/17's all the way around to be competitive. not sure if there is an equivelent race tire in the diameters required on the new 5th gen
