So you want to run 15" wheels on your 6th Gen Camaro huh???

Well, what is it going to take???

Not all that much really....

If you want to run a 15" wheel you will need to replace the trailing arm with a custom one (like the CarlyleRacing arms) and grind off a casting mark at the top of the spindle...

Other than that, you just need a new brake kit that will clear the wheel and you are good to go!

here are some pics of my car mocked up with the brake kit and a wheel...

If you have questions about what you need, please give us a call at CarlyleRacing we are a supporting vendor and want to help you go fast!

You don't have to change the lower control arm's themselves, but the trailing arms will need to be replaced.

If you want you can do the other 3 support arms as well to stiffen the suspension.

Pricing will depend on how you decide to do the upgrade, but you will be able to do it with just the Trailing arm and Brake kit. That Base kit will be offered for $999 and will be all that is required.

Upgrades will include

Drilled and slotted rotor upgrade
3 additional support arms per side (6 total)
Custom colors will be available.

Assuming I was to go with all the arms does this set up make any additional noise? How does it effect the ride?

I am guessing using all the arms helps to keep the wheel square with the car when under a lot of power? it
