Default Biggest Tires

What are the biggest tires (width) can you put on a 1995 Camaro without doing any mods? The biggest I heard it 315.

You can fit 315's with little to no modification (and by little I mean you can fix it with a hammer...)

Well, it looks like you can do if you have a spacer, but I think it looks retarded. I would run 275's in front and 315's in back if you have to have the 315's.

theres no reason for that wide unless you do autox or just like the look, 245 even 275 hook just fine if you have traction issues

I have 275 in the rear but I'd prefer something wider. Maybe a 295 at least.

I need a lot of grip cause when I drop the clutch, it does 75 ft burnouts. If I play with the clutch, I cant get a good enough start. I need more grip.

You can also feather the gas. That what most people who are not wanting to burnout do... Or by some drag radials.

That's kinda what I meant. I bought the dyno app for my Ipod (works amazingly, buy it) and used that and a stopwatch for a 0-60 time and we got like 8 seconds! The car has LOTS of power but I cant out it down. It sucks. Oh ya, how often do you change drag radials? I don't want to buy some super soft tires that cost $2000 and you have to change them every 3000 miles.
