Hey Camaro 6 new owner 2018 1ss manual (Summit White)purchased brand new with 40 miles as a daily driver. Also a c5 z06 (widebody/345 rear tires/built 6.0 liter) owner, daily was a 99 Lexus gs400 Im a father of 2 so when it was time to upgrade I chose to go with something still LSX/Lt1 but would fit the kids. My wifes car is a 19 Honda Cr-v so we are covered when we need space. 2 weeks ownership so far 500 miles in today and loving it

Day I brought it home

Bill3rdletter · 03-23-2019, 07:24 AM

Tinted everything 20% but the front windshield 1 week after purchase

Bill3rdletter · 03-23-2019, 07:31 AM

Hit 2 weeks 500 miles exactly today and the new wheels I ordered happened to come in this morning so I took them to get tires and have my factory TPMS's added in. Can't stand the stock wheel widths

Rotiform KPS finish is gloss black barrels/windows and matte black faces
20x9.5+22 front
20x11+35 rear
Nitto nt555 g2 tires
285/30zr20 front
305/30zr20 rear

Planning to lower it next week to clean up the wheel gap. Any spring suggestions for non mag ride?

Welcome to the Camaro 5 forums. Beautiful Camaro and Corvette you have there congratulations. I really like those wheels on your Camaro! Do you have any other plans for your Camaro?

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Thank you! While Im under warranty I only plan to do the cosmetic changes to the car like lowering, front splitter and change out the rear spoiler to a blade style. Big fan of Naturally Aspirated stroker builds so a mild cam 416 stroker with D.O.D delete would be in the future

what kind of lug nuts did you get? i hate the chrome looking ones on my black wheels but have seen negative comments on the black ones I have found so far

great looking ride, will follow your build for sure!

They are just ones my local tire guy carries. I run them on my vette also and they have held up really well. They come in a brown box no labels I don't really believe in name brand lug nuts as long as they serve their purpose and can take a beating. These are 19mm and fit my powdercoated wheels holes im sure if you search black m14x1.5 lug nuts you would be able to find similar
