99 Camaro with 2010 Camaro wheels? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2SSNOS · 11-29-2010, 09:42 PM

Just purchased a 99 Camaro and found a set a set 2010 Camaro 245/55R18 wheels and tires. I know they will fit but I am not sure if they will look good on that year. I have read 18" is as large as you should go on that year. Any input would be appreciated.

they should look pretty good

Bulldogwinters · 11-29-2010, 09:58 PM

They've got the same bult pattern I think, you shouldn't have any problems. I'm always skeptical about wheels I've never seen on a 4th gen, but someone always has to be a tester!

you should seriously do it. seriously. ive seen tons of these threads of ppl asking what it looks like, and no one ever actually follows through with it (at least to my knowledge) and as a result ive never seen a 4th gen with 5th gen rims. i say do it, take a shit ton of pics, and if worst comes to worst, you can always go back to your old rims

photo chop it.

aren't 20s a little bit for a 4th gen? are the offsets right for the car?

a good looking 5 spoke setup is hard to go wrong with .. but bigger isn't always better. 20s look right on the 5th gen, they were designed around it.

brandotron · 11-29-2010, 11:15 PM

Nope. Bolt pattern for a 5th gen is 5x120, 4th gen is 5x120.65

Isn't that the same as the corvette also? I might be wrong on that, but I was under the impression that 4th gen was 5X120 and corvettes were 5X120.65

you can go 5x120 bolt pattern with a fitment ring, I would NOT install them without the rings.

and I thought the 2010's came with 20's?? and if they are 245/55/20's they might look huge with those 55 series tires and would sit like a 4x4 if your at stock height.

4th Gen Standards
16" wheels ??????? <<<< never had them.lol.
17" wheels 275/40's
18" wheels 285/35's
19" wheels 285 or 295/30's
20" wheels same as above

more than 20's get your flame suit on.lol.

No. The Corvette is 5x4.75 (5x120.65). The new Camaro uses the Holden standard 5x120.

Chances are likely that you could actually get them to bolt in place, but it would put a lot of excess stress on your studs. Also, that 245/55/18 has a 28.6 inch total diameter, vs the 25.6 or 26.0 inch total diameter for the 4th gens. Thats a lot of extra tire. It'd be like swapping in really long gears (read: not good for acceleration), not to mention all the extra ride height.
