Just thought I would remind everyone not to over look the cadi CT6 wheels. The cadi CT6 is the PPV but but with a cadi frnt and rear and much nicer interior. The stocks are 19x8.5 or 20x8.5

What lug nuts work best with these wheels? I have hypersilver v810s inbound. Thanks!

nice fit on the rear...what brand of tire?

Have you loaded the car enough to find out if there's any tire rub?

Goodyear F1. Actually, I should have mentioned that this particular photo had the 4 "cast iron" stock wheels in the trunk and 2 stock tires still in back seat.

Edit: When loaded with above and spirited back roads driving - no rubs.

18" 2011 camaro stock wheels and tires with lugs from the PPV. I have silver lugs on order to replace them. AMAZING what difference a wheel change can make!

Those wheels are 2016-2018 Camaro, not 2011. This is 2011 Camaro alloy 18: (example) https://www.ebay.com/i/122693729177?chn=ps&dispItem=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What tire size is this? If you're saying this is a take-off set of production Camaro wheels & tires, the size should be 245/50-18. Stock PPV tire is 235/50-18, with 27.3" diameter--XL rated, 97W/1709 lb. 245/50-18 is 27.7" diameter--SL rated, 100V/1764 lb. While speed rating may not be up to PPV standard, it shouldn't pose an issue unless exceeding tire speed limits is in your plans.

Agree--black lug nuts, and even dark/black center caps, and yes--a change of wheels DOES make a big difference. Pontiac knew how to do this: http://newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 64ac#p2250" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Stupid money option, just to show what's out there:

Question: is your car (in photos) at stock ride height--ie. running stock PPV springs?

Stock suspension. And they are 2017, not 2011, running 245 50 18. Seller claimed less than 1k miles on the set. All for $400. I think I will order some black lugs and caps just to see which I like better.

I'm looking for a set of SS springs to stop it just a hair.
