I am hearing different tales on this. Has anyone had experience running 20x10 C5's on the rear of a stock 2nd gen camaro. I know the 20x8.5 will work but I was looking for a deeper lip. If anyone has a picture with the setup please post for me to look at. Thanks

tall tire,it'll be tight but will work if you nail the b/s just right...rear seatbelt mounting point on the trans tunnel will have to be massaged with a bfh.

IYO, is there gonna be much difference than if i go with 8.5's. The cars I have seen with the 8.5's on the rear and factory height look "donk'd" in the back

I don't like the skinny tall tire look,I had a pair of 20x8's I had on my Chevelle and never liked how they looked so I sold them.
Stick with your original plan and you can make it work,there are plenty of guys out there running that combo.

I have left 2 messages for Jon about wheels and have not got a call back yet. Coy's are my last choice but I am getting impatient with spring already here and I know i can always use the Coy's on something else in the future. Like the 61, 62, impala I just can't seem to find. I may just pull the trigger on a nice 65 I found but for a little more i think I can find a nice 62. Best deal so far on a nice quality 62 I have found is 22k and 14k for a 65 both are 283 2 speed cars.

Get the 10inch width more lip the better

My wife has been in surgery all day today, so I've been out. I'll be back in the shop tomorrow. 9-5pm.
Long story short, 10's can fit on the back of a second gen, but the backspace and stance have to be right. Too low and it will rub, too high and it will rub.
