20s vs 22s
hey guys,
sooo im having a discussion with my friends about whether to upgrade to 20s or 22s on my camaro. First off, it's a 2011 1LT. still has the stock 18s with stock bfgoodrich rubber. what i want: i know its a V6, and im not trying to make it look like a V8/SS/ZL1/Raced out camaro. all i really want is for it to look more agressive, and less "Bonestock". Just wondering if anyone has pix/stories of going from 18s to 20s or 22s. Do you wish you wouldve gone bigger (if on 22s) or smaller (if on 20s)? was it a hassle with the rest of the car's set up (i.e. loweing, tubbing, etc...)? overall what was your experience? and please, if you post pix, gimme a descriprtion of what you had/have and what you had to do to achieve the overall "look" of the car (which rims/tyre size/offest/etc..). I'm a total newb when it comes to thi , so im sorry for the frustration this might cause you, but i figure i'd try my luck on a forum as opposed to google.. thanks in advance. JC |

I say that 20's and lowered a little looks better than 22's

I would say max out at 20's... anything larger and you're getting into Donk territory

22's equals too much rotating mass and a pretty harsh ride. Stick with 20's.

When done right, dropped with 22's look great.
Matter of opinion of course. |

I'm struggling with this as well. I think 21 is the aesthetics sweet spot but the tires are out of this world expensive. Given that, i'd default to 20s.
