Pic's of my new 18" ZO6 wheels

Come take a look and tell me what you think? Just put these on over the weekend and thought I'd share the new look with you guys. I know the car needs to be dropped about 1.5 all the way around and could also use some suggestions as to the right springs and sock combos.

1995 Camaro Z28

95 WITH Z06 RIMS??

How did you get those to fit. Did you use spacers or do they just fit. I called belle tire they told me 18" rims will not fit on my car with that type of tire. I have a 94 camaro. But 93-97 are the same correct??

I have to tell you that they are very close to the inside of the fenders, especially in the back where they have less than .25 of an inch clearance from the rear fender well. The front barley fit also but they do with no rubbing or hitting when turning.
1993 - 1997 are the same so you shouldn’t have any problems ether.

Put on you're 18" ZO's and P275 tires and enjoy the transformation. The handling rock!

Re:

Handles allot better I bet. Thats mostly just one of the reasons why I want these rims. I might go with the 17.9.5" rims but I want the widest tire avail.

Thumbs up

I'm running the same wheel Dante' Replica Z06 18" 9.5 with 275/35/18 Dunlop Sp Sport 9000. I really enjoy them, and I have and no problems with mine rubbing. Good choice!

These rims are supper light weight, I pick one up with the tire on it after having removed the stock wheel and what a difference; must have dropped 5-lbs per wheel or 20-lbs total, which on a convertible makes a huge difference. .

This thing handles like its on rails... Highly recommend!

I think 97s are different with like .25 difference in spacing in the rear, I'm pretty sure its the same setup as on the ls1's in most 97 LT1s

Looks great! I love my 18" Z06's too. Too bad my tires cost more than the rims . $700 for brand new AFS wheels is fine by me though.

Thanks! I think these rims look great on all generation Camaro's & Firebird's, not to mention Vette's. Chevy came up with an awesome design when they created the ZO6 rims. They literally turn heads everywhere I go!
