Judging by the way you communicate with people on automotive forums such as Camaro6, "community support" is going to be hard to come by for you... just sayin'

Not trying to read through all this bickering so I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this already here...
Those tires there are run flats... Also the sizing information has been removed from the tire, but I'd think that some spyshots somewhere might have caught it. |

As a moderator on another site, there's nothing that puts a member at the top of the **** list faster than complaining publicly and being a smartass about getting infractions or scolded in a PM. Just sayin'.

Definitely hope we get a non run flat option. Not a big fan of the ones on my 328i.

Follow the link on post one and you can download a high res image. Compare with the Tire Rack image someone else posted. At about the 11:30 position there is a box on the tire in the GM image that says "RunOnFlat" with a bunch of run flat instructions/disclaimers printed on the tire from about 12:00 to 2:00. Tire sizing and loading should be down around the 7:00 position based on Tire Rack image. On GM's image there is nothing there.

No, a lighter car can have a lighter wheel because the wheel doesn't need to carry as much load. Lightweighting like this is known in engineering as being a 'virtuous circle'. A lighter car can use lighter components which makes for an even lighter car. Thats how Ford saved 700 lbs on the F150 by making the body out of aluminum, which in and of itself saved about 350 lbs. Because the body was lighter, they didn't need as beefy components for the brakes and suspension and axles and frame and so on, which let them save even more weight. Note: this is also why the payload capacity for the F150 didn't go up by 700 lbs when they removed 700 lbs of weight from the truck. GM kinda takes all that into account when they're designing the cars in the first place. If you change it by downsizing (or upsizing), then it will muck up the factory calibrations.

Right, they are saying that by making the car smaller and lighter they can go with smaller (and cheaper) brakes, skinnier (and cheaper) tires, and lighter suspension/drivetrain bits. This could save money for them, add up to more weight savings, and save money for the owners on the consumable parts as well.

Is the point of showing the wheels that they are light weight forged? If so cool, but I'm with most of the guys that some standard 5 spokes would look better. If those wheels have some concave shape, then it might work.

By the way.
I know lots of you have lots of time and are good with computers. Don't we know the wheel base or the length of the car by now?? Can't we use some spy pictures and some math and programs to compare it To a car in a picture we do know. Then we can use some ratios to see the length of the Camaro and the wheel size Just saying #mathmajor #butimlazy #engineer #phdforworkonly
