275 on the front - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have the ZL1 factory reproductions. 20x9 on all four. Will a 275 fit upfront on the 9" wheel?

I see plenty of people running them with a 10" wheel. Just making sure before I order tires. Thanks

You'll be fine....you can run a 275 on a 9" rim with no issues. The stock rear's on the SS are 275's and they are running on 9" rims. I have a 275 upfront on mine with a 10.5" rim.

I have the Factory repos on my car with a +23 offset. My rims are 10 inch rims but the 275s will fit on a 9 inch rim. It is going to come down to your offset on your rims, If you have +23 you will be fine. 275s should be ok, if they were 285s or 295s thats another story.

Yea I know the 275 will fit on the 9" wheel. I was talking about the tire and wheel fitting under the car with no rubbing. Sorry for the miscommunication

ModBargains · 04-23-2014, 01:53 PM

What is the aspect ratio on the tires and do you know the offset? Should be just fine if its a 275/40, but we will need to know the offset to be sure.

YES, a 275 works just fine....I have been running 275's on stock 9" wheels in the front of mine for nearly 2 years. no issues at all. actually it made the car handle a lot better.

Thanks guys! It will work I swapped one rear wheel/tire with a front and everything was all good! I appreciate all the help and fast replys

Would I be able to run a 275/40 up front with a 33 offset and bmr lower springs? What about 305/35 in the rear. Thanks in advance

That's gonna be close, but it'll fit. I actually have a similar setup on my SS. I took the rims off my Z (to replace with Z28 rims) and put them on the SS. I have 315's on the rear, though.

Yea, as far as the OP's question, without a doubt. I run 285/35/20 10" wide on the front of my SS. Not one problem.
