2000 Camaro 15" wheels
 
is it possible to put a pro star 15" wheel on a 2000 Camaro with the big brakes ? I put them on my 97 with a lot of grinding but it has the small brake . I tried a spacer but the wheels stick out too far . What is every body doing .

Mike, you do have a few choices. If the 2000 is a dedicated race car, change to race specific brakes, ie Wildwood, Aerospace, etc. Street/strip, change to 17" skinnies to clear big brakes. I do know the calipers from a fwd H-body (Delta, LeSabre, Bonneville) have the same bolt spacing and are smaller, possible to use on early 4th gen. spindles on later 4th gen. to get more clearance? I would think the 17" wheel would be the cheapest route.

94-97 6 cylinder came with 15" steel wheels and hubcaps as per a google search so you could swap 94,95 spindles and then run the 15s.

Mike,
I ran/run Billet Specialties Street Lites, on my 2000 SS.
I did have to grind the front calipers, but is not an issue.
There have been no issues driving this setup on the street.

Thomas are you using 15" and what backspace and rim width are you using Mike

Mike,
I had to look it up as the car, and the wheels, sat all last year, due to the fact that I moved up to a Stock Eliminator.

Front – 15x4, 5x4.75” BC, 1.625” BS
Rear – 15x10, 5x4.75” BC, 7.5” BS

The rears are 4th Gen. F-body specific.

Hope this helps.
