Wheel questions

I have a 2019 with the 2ss package. Looking to replace the factory wheels with these:

Are the stock wheels different widths front and back? I want to keep the factory tires (only 6k miles on them) and it's offering different size selections for the new wheels (all 8.5 wide or 8.5 front, 10.5 rear)
I want to match the new wheels with a set of stripes in bronze, but not sure it won't be too much. I'm debating between the hashmarks (bronze with matte black pinstripes) or a complete set of Rpi double stripes in the same color scheme. Thoughts? Will I need a fedora?

Thank you!

Those are some good looking wheels! I’ve been wanting to replace mine as well. Only 700 miles on the tires so I want to find wheels that will fit the tires. I noticed that the Foose wheels you mentioned here only come in a 9 inch front rather than the 8.5 that the car comes with. Would the stock front tires still fit on a 9 inch rim?

9" wide rims are OK'ed for tires as narrow as 235/40 and 235/45 up to 275/35 and 275/40, so if you've got 245's or 255's you'll be fine.

The wheels look good and remind me of the SS 1LE factory wheels. IMHO though your Camaro would look good with just the black wheels, window tint and no stripes or fender hash marks. It’s your car though and you can do what makes you happy! ��

Hi, You can try this website. It is pretty spot on for the work I have done on Porsche, Corvette, Viper, Camaro and McLaren over the years.
Then you can use the tire manufactures information on the rim width requirements for each size. Kudos to doing your homework prior.

I dig the color! Post some pics once you're done fitting your new wheels.

So here are the actual specs...just a sanity check. Let me know if you guys see any fitment issues. Also including the tire specs but not real sure on brand/tire yet. I do want an All season non-run flat tire but am open to suggestions:

Get the General AS-05. The DWS06 are old.

There's also the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and the Bridgestone 980AS.

I'll check those out...they're actually cheaper (every $$ counts!)

BFG Comp 2 A/S also.

most people do 20x10 20x11 you can do 20x9 20x10.5 but my motto is go big or go home lol and 275 on a 10.5 wheel is kinda small might as well go to a 295 or 305

Finally arrived and installed. Will get better pics cleaned up later. Taking some Aleve and finding a heating pad!
