Firebird Max Rear Tire Size Stock length rear, what is the maximum tire size for a 15" rim that will fit on 99 TA. BFH is okay, as long as its not major. no cutting or anything else. I heard that the birds have a wider wheel well then a Camaro is that true? I checked that what will fit thread but its all about 17x11 and 18x9 wheels and stuff. Im looking for slicks. will a 15x10 fit w/ bfh? What is the biggest tire that will fit on it w/ a 15x8 or 15x10 (if that rim can fit w/ only the bfh mod) On my buddies camaro he has 27x10.50-16 on a 16x10 (i dont think its a 10" rim but he says so).
Anyone w/ actual experience, or pix? What about pix of the work you had to do with a BFH to make it fit? Im intrested in that also.

I've got 315/35/R17 on the back on my 01 T/A they are on 17x10.5 Verde Custom Bullett wheels. Tires are BFG G-force T/A Drag Radials. I think you need like a 5.5" back spacing for the wheels to work check out www.tradeunion.com if interested. Even though you're looking for slicks this may help. The 315 tapes out 25" high with only 2" above the tire to the fender lip. Hope this helps.
