Need to go to 18's. The 255/40/17 Rivals on the OEM SS 17x9's just aren't working. Car handles really well but the tires are a limiting factor.

Saw these wheels at the Tire Rack as I can't afford the good, wide, light stuff at this point...

Anyone have experience with these wheels? Will an 18x9.5" wheel with a 45mm offset work on the front and rear of a 2001 Camaro?

I'd be running a 275 Rival S or RE-71R

Thanks!

This is where I got mine from, just to give you another option.

I don't think a 45 mm offset is going to fit very well ...

I'm on 17x9.5 with 54 mm offset

why not 315s?

Wouldn't 315's be pinched on a 9.5" wheel?

Also, I have no desire to alter the car so it can run an 11" wheel with no issues. So, no modifying fenders, no changing wheel studs, etc. My time is limited as it is, I just wanna enjoy the car more on plug-and-play components.

i run 18 X 9.5 with a 40mm offset and they fit perfect. i run 275s RS3s and 285s Dunlops

No a 315 won't fit on that small a rim. I wasn't sure your intentions or racing class. You said tires are limiting factor so.. bigger tire.
