Does anyone know how I can find out what wheels fit with this? I can't find a way to do this on tire rack without selecting my OEM wheels. The "winter pacakage" stuff is great but i don't want a winter pacakage. When I do a custom package or whatever with my car selected, it seems like every single 18" I choose doesn't work with the Continental DWS 06... I googled and cant' find out which wheels work with it, maybe I'm just bad googling.

Anyone want to help me get rid of this headache with some info? Thanks in advance

If you are matching the stock tire diameter, approx. 27.7".
That would put you in a 235/50/18 (27.3") or 255/45/18 (27") 8" rim for the first one and 8.5" rim for the second.

Get a rim that is 8.5 " Stock offset for the front and a 8.5" rim for the back that is 25mm offset (to keep stock look)
Throw on those 255/45/18 DWS 06 and you are good to go

Thank you! So the offset for the front is 35MM right? Or the same?

Thanks again, hard to get help sometimes..

Stock offset on the front 8.5" is 25mm....or is it 27. Lol.

Rear is 39mm. Since you would be putting a narrower rim on your need to push it out. A 25mm offset would be perfect.

So long story short. Get 4 rims. 25mm offset. Same size tire on all 4.
And you get to rotate your tires to your hearts content.

Cool! Thanks for the additional info. Before bed last night I was googling about having a "square" or "box/same size all wheels" setup on a camaro(andreally any car deviating from factory size ratios) and couldn't find a lot of info on what I gain and lose when I do this.

Any insight on that one?

Thank you!!

The square set-up on a 5th gen Camaro was beneficial.
This Platform is all new and the jury is still sequestered on this one.

Everyone throwing on new Rims / Tires is messing around with 'factory' Sizing / Dimensions & Geometry.

Until we get some hardcore track guys out there running different set-ups who knows what good or bad will come of it.

I do not see any issue with running a squared set up. You are (or could be) still running Tires in the stock diameter and most likely just pushing the wheels out a bit. Nothing will change - just look better.

If you start dropping the Diameter to run hot little track set-ups - I am not sure what will happen. These changes would bring changes to Speedo, Trans, Differential and possibly engine management.

And if I go 19's.... I will let you know what happens

I can't thank you enough for all of this info brother

This is great and I feel more confident about what to do next
