Is this something that your engineering department considered?

How many other people would want to get a set of them if that was an option?

So many people like the 1LE wheel. But the only option is 20” from 2 sources.

What's the value in having it as a 19" wheel? The stock SS wheels are 20", so why not something styled similar that could accommodate the stock tires from an SS?

The extra sidewall on the 19” versus the 20” to help protect the rim from that elusive pothole is the value IMO. Also having the ability to stay with the 285 up front and 305 on the rear with a 10” and 11” width respectfully.

However, from the perspective of maintaining stock SS tire sizes, your idea is also good.

Gotcha... I could see it being a plus to have a little extra sidewall for street use.

Would it make sense to have both sizes though? There would have to be a "big enough" market for each of them to make it an option to stock both sizes I would guess.

At this juncture making the same wheel in two different sizes seems it could be cost prohibitive. Molds are expensive and in our conversation it would be at least 4 of them required to make these different sizes.

Those are potential new wheel designs we're coming out with



Hi, I think you might be mistaken with the offsets. The 19x11" ET11 does fit the front of your standard ZL1 without spacers. Spacers only become needed when you max out the camber via the spindle. If camber plates are used (which they should be for better clearance and more adjustment), no spacers are needed.

If you had an offset of +15 for example, that would move the wheel even closer to the suspension with less room to spare. For our 18" Camaro wheels, the offset will be a bit more aggressive to help with this, but you do run the risk of it being too wide past the outer fender if you get too aggressive with it.

GM did a really nice job with wheel fitment on these cars, so there isn't a whole lot of change that needs to happen with aftermarket performance wheels. This is the only community we cater to where this is the case. So congrats on that

Understood, thank you!

Hello Apex team!

Are you guys building the wheels locally here in the Bay Area? If so, I wouldn't mind passing by to check out the process at some point, if possible

Having a V6 1LE, I don't want/need super-wide wheels and tires. Have you considered making wheels narrower than 10"? I like the idea of having 19" wheels for more tire options but I don't have enough power to warrant much wider than a 275 section rear (the factory size).

Thanks!

255/40/19 fits on 10".

They make them they are just not Camaro specific. You should be able to run the BMW wheels, they just have a larger centerbore so you might want to get some hub rings with them.
