But if Tire Rack says a choice will work you can be pretty certain it will.

Tire rack didn't get a car from Chevy to measure (wasn't given) where they usually do (many other cars). They're waiting for a local dealer to get one in that they can measure one up.

They're well aware of the issue.

Heck, if there's a guy that lives in North Bend with a Gen 6, hit me up if you have some spare time. I'll get you in touch with TR.

^^^^^^^ THIS.

I like tirerack, always got my tires for all vehicles from them. I still do look at other local places and online to see if there is a better deal, usually isn't. Tirerack before releasing anything for the camaro will want to be 100% sure everything fits/works/etc which is why I like em. They do care about their R&D.

This is a nightmare and makes no sense.

Rudy at Tire Rack will get you hooked up, but these are brand new cars folks. No real company will back a product 100% unless they are sure. Would you?

This will get figured out.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying Rudy has measurements?

laborsmith · 11-27-2015, 06:37 AM

He is saying Rudy does not have measurements as of now but will.

I don't know Rudy, but I know a few others.

If Rudy had the measurements, then TR would have the measurements, as I *know* that there are quite a few people in TR that care and are trying to get the numbers (and a few of us from the outside too pulling strings inside GM). But they don't have them yet.

Is Rudy the acct manager for the Camaro 5 and C7 accounts? If so, then yes, once TR gets the measurements, Rudy will be the go to contact for those from here.

So has anyone been driving in 0 C / 32 F weather with summers?

lDejavul · 12-01-2015, 02:07 PM

I did for about a day. Not something you are going to want to do. Those things are rock hard. I got the DSW06 on there now and its much better.

Whis · 12-01-2015, 05:44 PM

It 's absolutely f***** insane that at least a dozen people here have the car and not one can get fitment numbers, including people who advertise their business. I may sound like a broken record but this is really surprising. I'm walking on my order if I can't get these stupid numbers within the week from here, my dealer, or elsewhere. Ridiculous.

Thanksgiving break and weather conditions render me useless. I am not driving my baby with all the salt and sand that is on the roads as well as ice with summer tires on lol. Tires/Wheels will all be around soon enough. Just need those Cali and FL people to get their cars and take em places lol.

I don't blame you, it is disgusting out here as well and it isn't melting

If the weather like the sunny crew's as well as me having reputable companies around, you can BET that I would've gotten everything done... As in, weight, wheel specs etc... ldejavul is more ballsy than I am, I only have like 810 miles on the car, I think he broke 2k already lol.

lDejavul · 12-01-2015, 07:02 PM

I just hit 1500 today actually. I would love to take my car somewhere and get the wheels looked at. Or even pop one off myself and do measuring. I just don't know anyone that is willing to do it or how to.

If anyone knows a good video tutorial on exactly what to do, I can get them measured in the morning.
