[vexss2010]

Sorry for posting a new thread BUT i need ur guys opinions...I'm going back and forth with this issue...I cant make up my mind if I should go with graphite or the machine black on my RJT...And note: I am stripping my stripes when I put my new mpd1 hood on...Heres the wheels and pics of my cars photoshopped


Machine Black





GRAPHITE

Since I don't see any other silver/machined bits on the car, I'd do Graphite.

ok another issue im having is...I ordered 22x9 front and 22x10.5 in rears..would 265/30/22 fronts and 295/25/22 be ok for the tires? The guy that im buying wheels and tires from says 30s in front and 25s in back is what he recommends..But are the 25s way to small for the rears? My buddy told me itll look like crap if i get 30s in front and 25s in rear

Overall diameter is the key

Recommended 22" tires for 2010 Camaro
245/35-22 = 28.8" tall, 8.0-8.5 wheel
255/35-22 = 29.0" tall, 8.0-8.5 wheel
265/30-22 = 28.3" tall, 8.5-9.0 wheel
275/30-22 = 28.5" tall, 9.0-9.5 wheel
285/30-22 = 28.8" tall, 9.5-10 wheel
295/30-22 = 28.9" tall, 9.5-10.5 wheel
315/25-22 = 28.2" tall, 10.5-11.0 wheel

I agree with Colin. The graphite rims would look sharp on your color car.

so what are some things that could happen if i get 295/25/22 in the rear?

I vote graphite. Not sure about 25's. I'd go 30 for a better sidewall.

They'll be a bit short overall, not sure where the speedo gets the reading to calculate mph, but that could be affected also

[vexss2010]

well heres a camaro5.com member that has the exact tire and size..and his looks pretty darn good..cant even tell the size difference and he said it rides just as good as stock and his cars lowered

[Toasty]

Size ---------SW---Diameter
275/40-20 4.3in 28.7in (stock rear)
265/30-22 3.1in 28.3in
295/25-22 2.9in 27.8in
295/30-22 3.5in 29.0in

I really forgot the biggest reason... You really need to keep all 4 tires as close to the same diameter as OE, for ABS and traction control systems. Really shtbe within .5 inch of oe diameter, that 25 series is almost a full inch off, the front size you list is right at that .5 mark. It ultimately is your call, but I would err on the side of safety. (you could have the tires size changed in the PCM, with a tune though, but again, all 4 should be as close to the same diameter as possible.)
