Chevrolet Camaro 4th gen wheel fitment
The fourth-generation Camaro uses high positive factory offsets and a 5x120.65 bolt circle. Owners commonly move to 17- or 18-inch wheels, while retaining a square tyre setup or adding rear width for traction.
5x120.65 bolt pattern · 70.3 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 16 × 8, 17 × 9 inch · Stock tyres: 235/55 R16, 245/50 R16, 275/40 R17

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Camaro: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

18-inch street setup
- Front and rear
- 18 × 9 inch, ET35 · 245/40 R18
Listed in the retailer fitment guide as a street combination. Lowering and tyre construction can change arch clearance; check the car before treating it as a no-modification fit.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- GM service information specifies 140 Nm / 100 lb-ft. Use the manufacturer metric value rather than substituting a rounded conversion from an aftermarket page.
- The SS factory package listed here is square. The retailer guide contains a contradictory claim of staggered SS wheels elsewhere; the factory-size table and CamaroZ28 technical reference agree on 17x9 ET50.
- The 2010-on Camaro uses a different 5x120 bolt circle. Its wheels are not a direct pattern match.
- Lowering can change the live rear axle position. Check both rear arch clearances and inner wheel clearance, not just one side.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

What bolt pattern does a fourth-generation Camaro use?
It uses 5x120.65 with a 70.3 mm centre bore and M12x1.5 wheel nuts.

Factory wheels are 16 × 8 inch and 17 × 9 inch, depending on trim. The stock table lists the offset for each.
