Why is it so hard to window shop wheels for the Camaro?
I guess maybe this is more of a rant.
I simply want to fire up Tire Rack and Discount Tire and poke around at wheels for my LT1 but both those sites assume I want their version of a staggered setup. What if I want to see the prices for square setups? Sorry, nope. The inability to search by wheel size on these retailers makes it impossible (unless you guys have some trick). |

I'm on the same hunt for LT1 wheels and yes it's very frustrating. I was just on VividRacing and that seems to be the only site so far that lets you filter on specific wheel size / width / offset.

Apex has a pretty good guide, but I was hoping to see some cheaper options. Like you, I bought an LT1 and $400+ wheels may not be in the budget. https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide Edit: yeah Vivid Racing is pretty cool! Last edited by NotFast; 02-05-2021 at 03:50 PM. |

When I bought my car I looked at tire rack. They are there but you have to get through the staggered ones first. Put in your car type when your choices come up go through the staggered sets and you’ll start seeing them.

On tire rack you just hide the staggered wheel option

Where is the no-staggered option? I'm banging my head against the computer looking to remove that choice.

you have to go down lower to the actual wheels and when it shows a rear option there is a hide button above it.

Tire rack needs to allow you to search wheels by size/spec like they do with tires. The car only search with only fitments they can guarantee really sucks when trying to find a custom fitment you want. I get they have to cater to the masses with the "easy button" approach, but they should also allow the people that know what they are looking for to find it...

I did finally end up calling the Tire Rack and asking them and I'm pretty sure there are not many 19x10 5x120 wheels (and even fewer than fit the front). I ordered a set last night but won't be able to test them on the car until the polar vortex ends and I can get my car out of storage. |
