Will the 5th gen Z28 wheels fit my 6th gen Camaro?

The fronts are the same width and offset as ZLE wheels, so they should fit but they might poke a teensy bit. The rears are half an inch narrower than ZLE rears and have 9mm less offset, so they should also also clear the inside fine and may or may not poke, depending on what size tire you run. Those wheels still look incredible IMO. I'd run them.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of running the factory Z28 tire sizes on Tire Rack, just looking for more grip.

What type and size of tire do you have on your car now? And on what wheel sizes? How do you use the car: street driving only, autocross, track days, a mix of these? And do you drive in true winter weather (below 20F or snow/ice)?

I run OEM Z28 wheels with ZLE size 3R on the track.

I have the factory 18 inch wheels that came on the car right now, it's a base 4cyl Camaro. I have a set of SS 20 inch rims that I put on in summer with Firestone 500 tires. My son thought he was Ross Chastain and wrecked 2 of the 20' rims on the right side, so I needed at least two new rims. The car will push once in awhile when I'm turning in, so I'm wanting some wider tires for help with that. I'm in Texas and run in the Big Bend open road race in the 150mph class, my best average so far is 149.67 over 59 miles. I'm not allowed over 168mph because that's the tech speed, and I can only hit that in the long straights. I need high corner speed for the best average, so I think tires will help.
