Re: Camaro SS rims

Yes they will. you will have to make the center where the wheel fits on the hub slightly larger for the rear though. I used a dremel tool. The hubs on the 93-96 F-Bodys are slightly larger in the rear than the front.

You sure it isn't the other way around? I could swear my fronts go on the rear, but the rears won't fit on the front.

Either way... at MOST you'll have a LITTLE filing to do (like 1mm). Go for it.

Re: Camaro SS rims

That is too wide of a tire for the size of the rim. go down to a 275 or a 285 at the absolute max. But even then, i still think that a 285 is too large. If you want to run a 315 then you need to get an 11" wide rim.

Yeah NO 315's... are the SS rims 16x8 or 17x9.5? I really can't remember. If they are 16x8, no higher than 255s... if they are 17x9.5, no higher than 285s.

Re: Camaro SS rims

Factory SS wheels are 17x9". 275/40 is the most appropriate tire size, and also the same size that was installed on them at the factory.

Re: Camaro SS rims

SS wheels were 17x9 on coupes, but 16" SS style wheels came on some convertibles - be careful on Ebay

Re: Camaro SS rims

Yeah, the "ZR1-style" SS wheels for the LT1 SS cars were available in a 16x8 version for the 'verts. But I've only seen the 10-spoke SS wheels in 17x9.
