Cool More options! BMW wheels...?

I have always wanted more options when it came to replacing stock wheels on my Camaros, and when I bought my 94 Camaro over in the UK from a Bulgarian guy this past year, to my surprise I found that it had 18" BMW wheels. I love the way they look. You can see photos of them on the car in my photo album. The lug spacing is only about a half millimeter off, which allows the wheels to bolt on with no issues (at least I haven't seen any yet). When I started looking at what other wheels were available with the same fitment, I was happy to find that there is a decent variety. I use the 5 series, E34 BMW as the car make/model type when searching for wheels. I mounted some new budget performance tires (Nexen N6000 tires, 275x18 rear and 255x18 front) the other day. Never heard of them before, but a friend recommended them and they were very inexpensive. Ride is smooth as glass at 90mph on the freeway ("motorway" here) and they corner well in the wet as well as dry, which is a good thing in England (it seems to be raining ALL the time)!

If anyone knows of any problems or issues associated with using BMW wheels on the Camaro, let me know!!!

I've seen a lot of guys running bimmer wheels on the f-bodies. It's a common choice.

I'm happy to hear that. I'm going to try them on my 96 Z28 and my 02 SS.

Good luck with your wheels! Make sure the offset is right. You may need wheel spacers.

In theory, you shouldn't need spacers for those.

Thanks for the quick reply. I can't figure what the fitment will be, will they be in or out vs stock rims?

They look to have more of a negative offset (they'll stick out a little more)
