18" wheels with 14" x 4 piston Brembos is almost a no-brainer, should only have the Brembo spoke clearance issue needing to be addressed. Aftermarket wheel designs that list a 2007 - 2011-ish GT500 fitment will have a much better chance of working than wheel designs that don't (I know the offsets would be a little different, and you'd still want to contact the wheel mfr to be sure). Forgestar F14's and the CF5's are both supposed to fit these.
I haven't been able to find enough information on the Camaro rear brakes to determine if those would possibly control wheel diameter rather than the 14" x 4 piston fronts.
I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now :(

Appreciate the explanation. I guess I'll be looking at some 19'S bare minimum for track tires and maybe street as well.
Now it's to decide do I drop 300 per wheel or 600 per?
