The Widest Rear Wheel...

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 (), 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
