Hi everybody, i need your help to mount the wheels i just received for my camaro ss (v8) 2012.

Status 22" the problem is for the rear, they gave me 5mm spacers but it seems too short to clear good the calipers, i think i need 10mm and perhaps 15mm to be really good (around 4mm between caliper and wheel) but i think the tires will touch easilly the fenders...

Wheels ARE PROBABLY WRONG my friend. Post specs on the wheels and tires. I would never run a spacer especially a 15mm spacer in the rear of an SS too much damm torque. I have 22x11.5 with 315/25 no issues and I am dropped about 2" on pedders Xa coliovers.

The offset needs to be very specific for the camaro. I guarantee the company you bought the wheels from has no idea what the correct offset is. If they do know, then they're thieves who sold you the wrong wheel anyway. You shouldn't need a space to fit any wheel on your camaro. I run the same size wheel as Seddon (well 11" rear) and I have NO issues with fitment or rubbed. I'm on Pedders coilovers and dropped as well.
