Default 20" Wheels & Tires

Should I go with 18" or am I asking for trouble with 20" rims and tires? What size and offset should they be?

No offence to your personal taste here, but 20" wheels on a Camaro looks asinine. Go with the 18's, you'll have less chance of bending a rim over large dips and it won't looks ridiculous.

18 are on mine, and its lowered but looks awesome!. if you read the post about wheels scraping on this section of the forum I have explained why mine scraped a little and about offsets..

You could go 19" max as 20" are too big, specially for front in my opinion.

What are the wheel width sizes you want 9J, 9.5J or 10J? and what tyres do you plan on using?

Thanks for the reply. After researching, I think I stick with 18". As for width, I'm thinking 81/2". Or staggered, 9" rear and 81/2" front. What do you think? What offset should I be looking for? Thanks.

You can run 9.5" all around pretty easily if you have the offset right. You should be looking for something around 55mm offset.

Agreed. Run an 18"

20's don't belong on 4th Gens.

I bought my 94 with 20's on it. I dont think they are too big. I dont like that they are big chrome gangsta wheels but just the same they are 9" wide with 255s and i have no clearance problems at all.
