OEM 2012 steel Camaro wheels??

Hi all,
I have a chance to pick up some black steel camaro wheels for my truck, would need to buy spacers but no problem. The wheels are 18" 7.5 wide. On the pic I just covered my stock 15" wheels so they are not to scale. What are your honest opinions about this?? I would be geting a 2.5 x 4 drop. My current tires are 275 60 15, will I be able to go that wide on the camaro wheels??

I don't believe those are the same bolt pattern. If I'm not mistaken the Camaro rims are 4.75x5 and your truck is 5x5. I've seen those Camaro rims on S-10 and they are 4.75x5.

Nice truck. I like the wheels and think they would look good on your truck, however I never have liked the idea of wheel adapters.

Wrong pattern, wrong offset, just wrong.

LOOK HERE:

Word of advice, use quality adapters and use the proper procedure. The space/adapter failure you here are most times because of using cheap adapters but mostly using wrong lugs or improper usage. I used 2 inch thick adapters here and should be close on yours.

I agree adapters and/or spacers when used properly and a quality part are perfectly fine. But those wheels do not look good on that truck.
