Tire Size Options
I have a 2010 Camaro 1SS with stock wheels. Want to put beefier tires on the rear without having to buy new rims. What would anyone recommend that gives is an aggressive look without rubbing worries? Currently have 275/40-20's on rear. Also maybe a little smaller width wise on front. Currently have 245/45-20's on front.

Stock SS wheels are 8 inch front and 9 inch rear so max would be 255 front and 285 rear for tires on stock rims.

I have a thread in the tire section. ..im on my phone and don't know how to get it. If you go to the tire section and look for Falkens all around thread I have photos. Don't worry about rubbing on the back.....ive had them on for over a year....drag raced them with zero issues. They are pretty beefy the pics don't do justice.

Something else you need to keep in mind is the overall height of the tire. You need to keep the height of the tires as close as possible. The height difference between a 295/40 and 235/40 will cause your dash to light up like a christmas tree. |

thanks rontammy0. That's perfect. I like the look. I just ordered the black bow tie stickers for front and rear along with the gill 3D effect stickers. My buddy told me I needed to put on the Hurst sticker. Definitely the tire setup I'm gonna go with. Thanks!

Thanks Mr_Draco. After looking at pics of rontammy0's car, I'm copying his setup. 295/40 rear and 255/45 front.

No problem ...glad you like it......one bonus is the little extra sidewall. The car rides alot better with just that slight increase.
