Hmmm saw this on TV and got me thinking.... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Soooo, I was watching TV and saw a CTS-V Coupe (gorgeous car) on a non-related show and low and behold there were the ZL1 (ex-SSX) wheels on the caddie....

SOOO I head over to the caddy web site and build me a cts-v coupe, and there is an option for this wheel!

Specs : 19" X 9" Front, 19" X 9.5" Rear.

This leads me to start looking for replacement part distributors, and guess what... They are AVAILABLE! $382.47 for the fronts, $378.16 for the rear.

So my question is, does anyone work for GM and know what the backspacing is on these wheels? Can they fit over the Camaro brembos?

Personally I don't mind going down to 19's from the stock 20's, especially for this wheel.

BAH!!! Nevermind on this, they are different (look close though). Comparison pictures for those that might want something close but a little different.

If you aren't getting a ZL1 but what the wheels .. just wait until they are out and see how much GM Charges for them if you were to buy them or wait until a ZL1 owner sells them for new wheels

That way you are sure they will cover the brembos.

The photo clearly shows a tire size of 20", not 19" like the Caddy.

Yup. They're different. And if I did my math right....they're lighter than those on the CTS-V.....I think.

I think the wheels are 20x10 front and 20x11 rear for the ZL1...which is a lot bigger than the current camaro wheels and the wheels on the CTS-V8.
