Default Tire Recommendation - 98 Camaro Z28

Hi

So if I put a set of four OEW, C6, Z06, 18 X 9.5, +56mm offset on my car, what is the widest tire I can fit on the front? Car is stock height (not lowered).

Any input appreciated

well if they are 18x9.5 i would go with 275s all the way around. 275/40/18 or 275/35/18 are both good sizes.

I was thinking 275/40/R18. The tire is taller and will fill-up the wheel well. However, they are about 26.6 to 26.7". That is about 1/2 taller then my stock tires (26.2). Just woundering if they will rub.

Is anyone using 275/40/18 both front and back?

Thanks.

i ran 275/40/18 in the front, i was lowered 1.3", and had no rubbing issues. ran 295/35/18 in the rear, it was dropped 1.5", and was lowered and had no issues. you should have absolutely no problems.
