Default How much more tire room for a TA than a Camaro?

I know a Trans Am has more tire/wheel space before the tire will rub the fender or bumper, but just how much more room does a TA have? Id like to run a 15x10 with 6.5 BS on my car. With a 28" tire. Fenders will be rolled. 1" drop.

I ran a 325/50R15 and a 28x11.50R15 on a 15x10 with a 6.5" BS and rolled fenders. Didn't have a problem, BUT I was on stock ride height.

Do you think it would have rubbed with the 325's lowered an inch? Mines a BMR 1"drop spring, no isolators, hose mod and a Moser 9". I hear the 9" raises the car slightly due to the slightly bigger axle tubes.

There really is no more addtional "room" persae "in" the Firebird wheel well, since the inner wheel well liner is the same stamping, the quarter panel does flare out more, so there is a fatter lip on the wheel well flange.
