I changed from the stock 18" wheels to 20" on my LT. I investigated and shopped for months before making my decision. I went with 20 X 10 Stance (forged) with Toyo all season tires for a square set up. I went to a specialty shop in Miami. I E mailed them and went back and forth with so many questions before I ordered. They were awesome- they order the "blank" wheels and machine on a vertical mill in their shop the bolt pattern, off set and hub bore precisely to the Camaro specifications. They also mounted and installed the tires and wheels and re-set the TMPS from a special hand held programming device. The results are amazing- the car handles so much better now and carves corners so nice. And the looks are amazing too- I get compliments everywhere. I also can still rotate my tires with the square set up. I could go on and on how satisfied I am.
I recommend looking in the tires/wheels section- read all of the posts- focus on your area for a good shop/installer. Then pick your style wheels, the width you want, square or staggered set up, etc. Pay a lot of attention to the offset so the wheels will fit and also give you the look you want. I choose an offset for a "flush" look. They actually poke out about 2-3 MM. It's a balance of the look you want (also being legal- some states you can't poke out at all) and clearing the suspension geometry. My final offset was about 23 if I remember right.
Good luck and have fun- I enjoyed my research and then finally getting the wheels and tires. And now I enjoy the looks and performance every time I drive the car. I have a post in the tires section as well if you want to look it up.

Hello I know it's an old post but I'm hoping to get some help myself. So I was actually trying to do the same but now idk what to do. My camaro is a 2017 LT and I have the oem 18inch rims. I bought another pair of oem rims 20inch fem a 2019 camaro and was told it would fit my car. Well I took them to get out on my car and was told they would not work and advised not to put them on because I would have room to turn. I attached he'd pictures of my oem rims and tires with pictures of the tires I bought. Hope to hear from you guys I'd really appreciate any and all your help. Thank you.
