when I say my truck is low for static drop truck its low. its about 5.5-6 in front and 7-8 in back. I rub even with the over wheels/tires. So as long as youre not extremely low, I would run those sizes.

Ok, gotcha. Mine is about 2-3 in front and 4-5 in rear. Thanks for your help. I will post some pics on here when I get it all done.

School boy, did your adapters appear to be hub centric? Trying to decide if I should even worry about it and just run these. They've got a set of four on ebay for $109 shipped here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Wheel-Adap...5f01c0&vxp=mtr

The set that of 2" adapters that Im using on my '92 Camaro with C6 wheels have held up well but dont remember if they are hub centric. Guess I can go pull a wheel.

Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels on Lowered C10
 
Mine were not hubcentric but the inside of the adapter was snug on the hub. If you really think about it, a lot of wheels with the two bolt patterns have an opening much bigger than the hub diameter and rely on the lugs to be center. As long as the wheel uses acorn lug nuts, the wheel should be centric. With that being said, im a over achiever and use hubcentric wheels and adapters when I can.

The truck in the pic with the 15"s on the first page doesn't look quite that low. My old 79 was 5/6" and the front looks lower. It was running a 255/60/15 and the edges were past the fender lips.

Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels on Lowered C10
 
It does look a little higher, may be the angle. Im using 2.5 drop spindles, 2.5 springs that were cut about half a coil, flip kit and 2 inch shackles. heres a little better pic.

Schoolboy, did the normal 1/2x20 lug nuts work with those wheels. I'm assuming any acorn lug nut works but I'd like to know for sure.

Thanks

Got my camaro rims bolted up! I think I need to drop it down some more. I have a 2" drop hanger, 2" shackle and lower shocks on the rear and the fender lip sits about 3 1/2" higher than top off tires. I have also installed new leaf springs. How much more do you guys think a axle flip will drop it? What do you guys think about removing the helper spring and how much would that drop it? I would like the fender lip to sit even to 1" lower than tires. http://imgur.com/odMx0fG

Google "5x5 to 5x4.75 adapters" and mine ran $200 shipped and were made to fit 73-98 2wd chevy/gmc hub diameter. As for tires, 245/45/20 and 275/40/20, theres about a 4 inch side wall.
1.5 adapters would work but in my opinion, not enough on the looks side.

I've ordered 1.5" adapters, but was recently informed that they won't work for the front. We will see I guess. I may be ordering another set.

I got the 1.5" because i wanted to make sure that they cleared the fenders when I go lower.

I believe that a flip kit will drop it 5" more.

I think what looks odd about them (I do like the wheels...not knocking them at all here...) is that these lowered squares IMO look aggressive with a more negative offset. That wheel style looks good on the truck but would be a lot better if the hubs were tucked in more.

JROC's Chevy 08-18-2014 05:22 PM

Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels on Lowered C10
 
Thanks, Pop's! How are you getting the pics to show up? Gmachinz I hear ya, to each his own, I think they match the body line very well. It would be nice if this style rim was made with a truck offset so we could compare.

What size of tires can I use for 2012 camaro wheels on my 1982 gmc truck? Any suggestions?

school boy 02-14-2015 03:40 PM

Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels on Lowered C10
 
I believe they come with 245/45/20 and 275/40/20. Really also depends how low your truck is.

Do you have some pictures? Did you try the adapters on the rims to make sure they would mount correctly?

Don't have any pictures right now. But the wheel is hitting on the rotor hub. I have the heavy duty rotors and was wondering if that's why it's hitting. Is there a difference between 1 inch rotors and 1.25?the adapter fit wheel great. Adaptec brand. Gonna grind the hubs down some tonight and see what I can do

I used 2" thick spacers front and back

Ran across a set of these wheels pretty cheap about a month ago. They were flaking and had some pretty serious curb rash. I took them to my powdercoat guy and he fixed them up for me. Its hard to photograph but they have a ton of flake in them and really shine/sparkle in the sun.

I had to roll my front fenders, I also have a degree or two of positive camber I can dial back to help. If your really low, these probably aren't the best wheels to get. They have the stock camaro sizes on them now (245/45 and 275/40) I'm going to have to switch to a 245/40 up front as I bottom out on the inner fender still at bridges and large dips in the road. I'll have to see how I feel about them after a few weeks to see if they stay around or not...

I'm just not a fan of factory wheels in general. Something about a wheel that when I see and recognize that it is off of a different car turns me off.

They are the stock camaro centers, I peeled the metal part with the embossed bowtie off, covered them with silver vinyl an then made a GMC decal to go on that.

Yea, the stock Camaro tires are a little tall with a really low truck at 28" tall. I hit my inner fenders quite often.
