Chevrolet 6th Gen Camaro Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide

Looking to upgrade the wheels and tires on your 2016-2024 Camaro LS, LT, LS 1LE, LT 1LE, LT1, SS, SS 1LE? You'll find exactly what you need to do here in our 6th Gen Camaro Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide. Whether you're wanting to freshen up the appearance of your street car, or gain a few seconds on track, our guide provides both wheel size and tire size recommendations, along with suspension setups, for your scenario. Browse through options available in our Flow Formed wheels like the ARC-8 and SM-10, or take a look at our Forged wheels such as the VS-5RS, SM-10RS, or EC-7RS.

Brake Clearance Note for 2022+ Camaro

If your car has the optional copper-free brake kit, option code BCD, you cannot run 18" wheels due to the increased size of the calipers and rotors. 19" wheels will be required. If you want to run 18" wheels, do not order the BCD brakes for your car! We recommend J6H and J6M brakes for all cars if legally available that allow you to take advantage of the performance gains from 18" wheels.

These bolt-on wheel fitments are ideal for enthusiasts enjoying their 6th Gen Camaro day-to-day on the street, and they are typically paired with all-season or performance oriented summer tires. These wheel and tire configurations will improve the appearance and performance of the car without requiring modifications to the factory suspension or alignment. Just bolt-on and enjoy!

Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you're a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for 6th Gen Camaro owners looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance. They are typically paired with performance oriented summer tires or track oriented R-compounds and this category includes both staggered and square configurations to best suit each individual drivers priorities, goals and preferences for their vehicle.

We've optimized the offset of our wheels to work well with the stock fenders, however, a wide variety of tire compounds can be used and some may require negative camber to fit properly. See fitment notes under each tire configuration below to see if modifications are required. If you plan to track your Camaro, we highly recommend dialing in negative camber regardless of whether your wheel/tire fitment requires it for fender clearance. Negative camber is vital for extracting the most performance and longevity out of your tires, and without the proper amount the outer shoulders of your tires will wear out prematurely and running tire costs will dramatically increase.

Square Configurations

Recommended for enthusiasts that want to mitigate understeer, improve turn-in, and rotate tires front & rear for extended life.

These wheel and tire configurations are best suited for hardcore track junkies and club racers that prioritize performance above all else on their Camaro. With these wheels everything from extreme summer tires to full racing slicks are commonly used depending on your experience behind the wheel, class rules, etc.

Additional negative camber is strongly encouraged to maximize performance and tire longevity, and some of the more aggressive fitments will absolutely require it to prevent rubbing under suspension compression. Even with the appropriate amount of negative camber dialed in, some of the more extreme fitments can still scrub the liners under suspension compression and/or when turning the steering wheel to full lock. This is par for the course when pushing the limits of wheel and tire fitment. These fitments are not for someone who primarily will use this wheel setup on their 6th Gen Camaro during street driving or in inclement weather.

Steering Knuckle Clearance

18" wheels in 10" to 11" widths often require 5th and 6th gen Camaro owners with MRC suspension (and sometimes DSSV) to grind a small portion off of the front steering knuckle for added clearance. 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 of the knuckle without clearance issues.

Brake Clearance Information

In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter. The following brakes have been tested and confirmed to clear our 18", 19", and 20" wheels.

• Factory ZL1/1LE Brembo 6 piston
• Factory SS 1LE Brembo 6 piston
• Factory SS Brembo 4 piston
• AP Racing/Essex 372mm Radi-Cal 6 piston
• AP Racing/Essex 390mm Radi-Cal 6 piston
