New shoes
Sorry for the crappy first pic, but I'd already broken the lugs loose before I realized I should snap a "before" pic...
Here's the old setup- American Eagle 15's, with Uniroyal 235/70R15s. Tires were SHOT.
Here's AFTER- 2010 18" Camaro steel Rallys, with 245/55/18 BFGoodrich Radial T/A's. BRAND NEW- local Chevy dealer had them in the parts department with zero miles. Already mounted and balanced, with center caps. I had to use 1.25" billet spacers, and I do rub the frame rail and the sway bar just shy of full lock, but that seems to be it.
Not the greatest, but they fill the wells a LOT better, and I got a pretty good deal on them. The flippin' spacers were half what I paid for the tire/wheel combo!
Anyway, for the $$$, it's a HUGE improvement, for the same money as I'd have spent for just a set of 15" tires for those old rims that I DESPISED.

looks a heck of a lot better.

Thanks- I have to agree!

they do look better. besides the fact that your rear tire looked like a BFG Drag Radial (kinda smooth in the middle there, eh)
#5
I like the new wheels

Wait... so the bolt pattern on the new Camaro's is the 5x4.75?
And those look much better than what you had.

Close Oktain, I'm pretty sure it is 5x120mm. And I'm sure you know the whole "S series trucks are 5x120.65mm but 5x120mm will fit" thing...
