What is the widest tire that will fit a '70 Camaro.
I currently have 225/50 15" they measure about 7 1/2 inches wide.
I would like to run all around 275/40 17" they measure about 10 1/2 inches wide.
Am I just asking for trouble trying to run this set up?
What size are you guys running?

I have 15x8 inch rims on my 80 z/28 and i put P255/60R-15 BFG T/A and they fit nice I told the tire place that I wanted the widest tire you can put on those rims and this is what I got it gave the car a nice stance and made the car look nice look at my pics that i have and they show the tires. 80z/28

as long as you keep about 4 inches of back spacing on the rims you can go as wide as you want. the slicks on my rod measure 13.5 inches sidewall to sidewall . they are mounted on 10" wide wheels with 4 inch backspacing and they fit perfect under my stock fender wells. sick
