LOVE the stance and wheel/tire look & fitment of this combo ...
I know this post was from a year ago ... but is that stock 2013 Camaro wheel AND tire sizes?
If so, they look like they were made for this car ... Really like the look ...
Also ... how was it lowered ... springs or coil-overs? Any rubbing or fitment issues?
Thanks ... and nice work ...

Thanks for the comments. I really enjoy her. It is lowered with BC Racing Coil overs for the G8. Tires, well its been so long, I will have to get back with you on that but they are Nitto Motivo tires and I love them.

On Scott's car, I'm pretty sure the tires are 255/35-20 front (27" OD) and 275/30-20 rear (26.5" OD), compared to OE PPV size, 27.3" OD. Both are also smaller (shorter) than Camaro SS (or RS) standard 20" tires.

Hey guys, I was just wondering what our factory bolt pattern is? Gotten a couple different answers from a couple different web sites and wanted to ask the gurus. Found some 2014 Camaro take offs cheap, but didn't know if they were compatible.

From a similar question I asked a while ago:

"They are not sir the caprice uses the later style Gen 5 camaro or the G8 wheels which is 5x120"

So yeah, your 2014 Canary wheel should work, but check around first, some of the Camaro wheels are _heavy_. I've heard ~36# PER bare wheel.

I picked up a set of 2015 Chevy SS wheels. They come in at about 26# a corner, but they aren't cheap.

Finally I'm able to show the new wheels on my Alto Gray. Sorry the photos don't include the brake upgrade, but it's coming! Car will also be lowered using SS springs and possibly some other "tricks". Photos taken at dusk, and I'm no great photographer, so I hope they're good for viewing!

these should "pop" nicely behind the Hypersilver spokes, which pretty much disappear at road speed

Looks great, will be over the top when you do the brakes and lowering. I'm not into the bling look either and have a similar look with the camaro argent silver rims. I did black out the window trim chrome and finally found the right tape to use. Its like $6 per roll....
