- Front and Rear: 18x10.5” ET22 with 305/35-18 tires

Rear: 19x11” ET43 - 305/30-19- ARC-8 fitment produced with Camaro-specific center bore. No hubcentric rings required.
- Direct fit
- This is an aggressive fitment, negative camber required front and rear to limit poke. Z/28 flares recommended.
- Since the ZL1 is equipped with the bulkier MRC suspension, it is important to note that if you dial in camber at the spindle, you will have inner strut clearance issues up front. 5mm spacers would be necessary. If you dial in camber with adjustable camber plates, no spacers required.

- Direct fit
- This is a very aggressive fitment, negative camber required front and rear to limit poke. Z/28 flares recommended.
- Since the ZL1 is equipped with the bulkier MRC suspension, it is important to note that if you dial in camber at the spindle, you will have inner strut clearance issues up front. 5mm spacers would be necessary. If you dial in camber with adjustable camber plates, no spacers required.
Additional Fitment Information
Steering knuckle clearance
Certain widths and offsets in the 18” diameter will require you to grind a small portion off of the front steering knuckle. Below are some pictures of the problem areas. This is only an issue with wider 18” wheels as the inside lip of 19” wheels will fit over the top without issue (click images to enlarge).

Concavity & Face Profiles
Each of our wheel designs is available in two or three different levels of concavity, which we call Profiles. The Profile is dictated by the width and offset, meaning wide lower-offset wheels will have more concavity, while narrow higher-offset wheels will have less concavity.
Available Face Profiles
| ARC-8 | EC-7 | FL-5 | SM-10 |
