Raked SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello everyone! Im a new Member and this is my first post(although I have been lurking these forums for quite some time) haha..
anyways I just wanted to share my new set up as I have tried to find a "raked" style camaro SS to replicate but have came up empty, so I just decided to go for it. I installed a set of bmr 1.4/1.0 inch drop springs on my car today on a set of old school muscle style 20" HRE 544r staggered wheels. The car already had a raked stance with the wheel choice but the springs enhanced it 1000%
Many Thanks to Apex and BMR!

This is cool and unique, but what does "raked" style mean?

Padre · 11-19-2013, 11:55 AM

I agree. It's a unique look that works. I'm sure it's a head-turner.

I've never seen wheels like that. I like them.

I would to see more pics at different angles if you get a chance.

raked would mean higher in the rear than the front.

anway, OP the car looks pretty cool for sure. the wheels are different and in a good way i think. looks good!

I absolutely love that look. Gives me something to look forward to. (I love your wheels but the HRE center caps only say $$$$$$$ to me, those are custom built, I have inquired on custom HRE's before for a Honda S2000 back in the day, They wanted $4,500 for 17x7.5 for the front pair and 17x8.5 for the rear pair)

Looks good! At first I thought they were mercedes wheels!

SUX2BU · 11-19-2013, 11:40 PM

What size tires are those? The rears also look like they are the wrong offset.

Thanks for the mixed reviews! I know style and taste is extremely subjective but I think it sets me apart from the crowd. Definitely turns heads! Heres some more pics as requested !
