[$¢'s 5th Gen]

I am not jumping to conclusions but I do hope or it would be nice to see a wider tire under the car. The GTO's 17" have 245's and the 18" have 235's and they cannot hookup, off the line, to save their life. Although I do like the style

atleast they are sticking with a 20" rim

Yeah, these are mule tires, but I agree. I want > 275s on it, at least for the rear.

 

[$¢'s 5th Gen]

Yes 20" is awesome.

And yes I am hoping for a 275 or bigger for the back

The only drawback is the annual cost to replace the rear tires!!!

 

[$¢'s 5th Gen]

True but if it were a cheaper, smaller tire you would, I know I would, burn them alot more than the expensive tires. So it will prolly even out, for me at least.

a 20" performance tire... ive gotten for my trucks at about 200 a piece.

when i had 17s on it, i paid about 175 i think for a 275/45/17 rear. for 25 bux more i can get a 255/35/20 name brand not walmart

so as far as the cost of tires in concerned, itll all be about the same price.

but yes, at least a 275 or bigger rear wheel



315 anyone?

granted its a 17, but you get the picture

Pirelli tires..if they stick with those you'll be replacing them within the first year anyways.

Im sure wide tired will not be from the factory, nor staggered setups either (at least on the first year models, maybe on a Ls8 model). I could care less about if it has wider wheels/tires, but I do care if it can fit wider wheels/tires. That was the beef with the GTO; you had to roll fenders and strut rub issues. I like to fit at 315 on a 18 inch wheels on the car without having issues with rubbing on a launch. I dont see it being a problem if the prototypes are running 245s on a 20'' wheels. Hell, I think the car could stand to be lowered on 315s; but I still like to know how deep the fenders are.

I am glad to see a 28+" tall tire on the car. That will help with traction and hopefully bring some new drag tires to the market. I am hoping they keep that tall of a tire.

Wheels

Does any one know who makes the wheels that are on the 2010 camaro? or atleast who does replica wheels?

Looks like it can fit a wider tire than the GTO. The GTO's rear is practically sitting on the rear tires anyway wheras there Camaro looks to have clearance. Wish a 315 would fit on the new Camaros. I have them on my 4th gen with no issues. I did when it was lowered however without an adjustable PHR. Still hoping that either the suspension works better or the tires are a tad wider on the new Camaro. My GTO has 275's in the rear (yes they rub haven't had a chance to roll fenders yet) and I still can't launch off them with 400 HP, a 245 would not stand a chance in hell with more than 400 hp. Here's hoping that the high end models have something wider.
