Looks like a very nice Camaro from your pics. The wheels almost look like Tork thrusts straight on, but have thinner more defined spokes looking from the side. Nice looking wheels.

Quit teasing us and mount them would you .

Thanks man...really appreciate it.:yes:

These wheels are obviously intended for the Chevelle...why else would I post here?:noway: I DID mount them today and...I have my own thoughts on how they look.I will post the best of what I have and let the comments speak for themselves...tomorrow.

Thanks again guys...:thumbsup:

 

[musclecarjohn]

I have my own thoughts and will reserve comment until later.Let's hear what you guys have to say...good or bad...you won't offend me.:noway:

Fronts:
18x8 (4" b/s) 265/35's

This is one beautiful Chevelle. Love the stance.

Fronts look good to me, the back has too much wheel and not enough rubber. I think I would prefer wider rear wheels with less height and the tires to match. I think your old rears look better in size and proportion. Beautiful car for sure.

 

[CHELKAMINO]

I have to aggree with SS4REAL.....from this angle....the rears need more tire.

Real nice 70 though:thumbsup:

 

[musclecarjohn]

I certainly agree...that's why I didn't drive it on those tires,they're going back.
Guys,I am stuck with this width wheel...I bought them from a friend who ordered them for his Camaro.If I was starting from scratch,I'd go 9.5" fronts & 11" backs...but I'm trying to make these work.Fronts are now wider than the rears,really need a 285/35-20 but no one makes that size so I'll try a 275/35 and see what that does for me.Plus,these are too tall at almost 3" taller than the fronts.

John. Toyo makes a 285/30ZR20 #246550. They are 26.8" tall, Which should be about 1.8" taller and 1.5" wider than your fronts.

New tires coming tomorrow...

Took furball's advice and ordered up two Nitto Extreme 555's in a 285/30-20 size,will arrive tomorrow and I'll mount them up this wknd.

Sure hope these look good...:yes:

I totally agree...

On the front that is the first rim over 17" I have ever liked on any car. The rear I am still undecided.

It is amazing that these 20's actually made the 18's look small...never thought I'd say that.:noway:

I will post up pics of the new tires ASAP guys...:thumbsup:
