Sorry I missed your reply
Those 20s look pretty big , not sure how they’d fit
What do they measure ?

 

[Kamloops cutlass]

My wheels came (then I did) very happy with the fit and I appreciate the help you guys gave me
Here are the specs so other can benefit from the knowledge

Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to add text after the photos
Anyway...
Front 17x8 4 3/4 backspace 245 45 17
Rear 17x8. 4 backspace 255 45 17
Tires are BFG sport comp 2
Wheels torq thrust 2
There is a slight rub at full lock on the inside fender skirt
Back tire has room against frame rail but I bet a 4 1/2 bs would rub with any tire bulge

Also has not been lowered but original springs may be sagging ?
If a mod could put these last 3 posts together that would be awesome lol
Thanks again guys
Steering box next !

Nice looking rim and tire combination. Thanks for posting the specs. Seeing yours really makes me want to pull the trigger on some 17's....

Thanks I’m pretty happy with them , the staggered backspace front and rear makes a difference in both looks and fitment
Makes the back wheels have a fatter lip making the back rims look a little wider than front
Wish BFG had made a 255 50 17 but once I get it lowered a bit the wheel wells will look a little fuller

I have a 1980 Chevy Malibu. It currently has 215/70R14. I have a set of wheels that are 245/35R20 but are too wide. I was wondering if camaro wheels could fit. Say 2010 and beyond. If anyone has some advice, I’d appreciate it

Wheels are not measured in p-metric sizes; tire are. Different things that impact what can fit:
*Wheel width
*Wheel offset
*Tire size
*Vehicle ride height
*Suspension set-up

Camaro wheels are going to have tires as wide as that 245/35 width you posted.
