Default 98 camaro tires

I have a 98 camaro base with 55 option rim, so my tire size is 235/55R16, I live in Iowa and get a ton of snow, so I was planning to put Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 tires, but they come only in 235/60R16 or 235/65R16. So can anyone tell me if I can mount these tires that have a taller sidewall. What will be the side effect of it. Thank you.

They will fit but your speedo will be off slightly because of it. I'd go with 245/50 personally but whatever works for you.

Kal is just saying that not all 6er's came with that size tire. Besides 215/60/16 is actually shorter than the 235/55/16. Just because the second number is bigger, it doesn't always mean a taller sidewall.

Mine came with 245/50

The base model got 215/60R16

The RS got 235/55R16

Then the Y87 RPO came with 245/50R16 tires along with other fun stuff.
