Man your car looks totally sweet and I love those wheels. I wish i had the cash to spend on those, Im pretty sure they are close to $900 a wheel or more

Oh well.

WOW!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I think they really set the car off!

Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I have been busy getting ready for a show and I just went with my father to pick up his new HOT ROD Magazine/Berger Chevrolet Camaro he just bought. It's 1 of only 35 made to Commemorate 35 years of Camaro production and pay tribute to the original Hot Rod Test Car Camaro. Pretty Cool!

CLICK HERE! if you want to see a couple pics of it.

Cory SS, I too wanted 18 x 11" wheels (iForged will build them in that size if you would want) but I opted for the 10.5" wheels instead.

With the Front Space dimensions I have on the rear you a could easily run a 18 x 11” wheel but the tire selection for 18” 315’s is so poor I chose a 295 size tire on a 10.5” wheel that is pushed out as far as the 11” wheels are.

I do not have any inner fender rubbing or bump stop clearance issues as I have an extra .5” of space on the inside of the wheel and tire than the guys do who run the 17 x 11 + 50mm ZR-1 wheels. Plus as the 18” tire selection grows better in the future, and with a 3 pcs. wheel, I could always get a .5” wider inner barrel put on my wheels to make them 11” wide in the rear and they would still fit. I guess I just let my master plan out of the bag.

Plus have you ever noticed how some 315 tires look like they are stretched too much by the 11" wheels? Depends on the tire of course, but I think the tire bulge of a 315 on a 10.5" wheel might look pretty sweet. Just something to think about.

Tell your dad congrats on his new ride!

Your right Greg the tire selections sucks, but I was thinking 335 or 345's oN the 11's...they are going on the SS...but I've got to do some frame notching to get them tucked under

but will look so freakin sweet
