Default Widest front tires for 2002 Camaro

So one of my front tires has a tear in it and I need to get it replaced. I wanted to go with wider front tires but I don't know what will fit. I have C5 Z06 18" rims and the current tires I have 275 35 18. Does anyone know what the widest tire you can fit on the front is?

What's the wheel width?

Okay, are the rear wheels the same width, and what size tires are on the rear?

Depends on the width but usually people do not put anything wider than 9.5" tires wise 275

The rims are 9.5 inches. And yeah, the current tire is a 275. It doesn't look like there is much more room for clearance but I wanted to ask and see if anyone knew for sure.

there have been guys running 285/35/18 in the front or even a 315 wide tire, on an 11" wheel. Front supposedly has a bit more clearance than the rear.

285/35/18, so it nothing substantial. Furthermore the 285s offer less tire choices and they cost more than the 275's

Thanks for all the advise. I'm going to look into the differences in prices between the 295s and 275s and go from there. Leaning more towards 275 at this point though
