you can fit 20s on it, 18s imo would look nicer tho. the tire size would depend on the rim size, check out tirerack.com's wheel/tire packages that will give you an idea of tire size in coordination w/ rims

20's can easily fit on a Camaro. As for the size of tire it depends on the widith of the rim.

20's just don't look right. The biggest I would suggest would be an 18".

agreed someone else had 20's and it looks bad it's wrong on too many levels, if you want 20's at least use a 4 door

no only go as high as 18's...even then it'd look better if you lowered after you put 18's on.

just remember that 18's make you lose about 5-10HP (and that's under estimating, see below), 20's I'm not sure, so keep that in mind that you're taking away from performance aspect.


Some show that was on SPEED the other night (my dad watched it) said that the guy did basic intake mods... cold air intake, headers, performance cat, catback exhaust, had it dynoed... put 18's on it and then had it dyno'd again and it came out 20HP lower than before.

it's because of different gear ratio if tuning is done to compensate it will perform better

Some 20's can look good! Like Whislers Camaro has them and it looks great! But go w/ 18's..Plus you can get wider than 8.5 and give it a more sporty look..

The 18's would actually give you greater speed with the same gears. The engine wouldn'd have to turn the wheel so many times to go the same distance. Just get it set up correct, and go for the gold! Plus more traction and sexier stance. The list goes on and on.....

18s rarely work, 20's are impossible to get it to look right on a Camaro... if you want to do 20's, buy a civic or an SUV.
