315s are the most popular, not to sure about 325s though. You might need the BFH mod and if lowered then rolling the fenderlips is usually the norm on a Camaro. (Firebirds have wider fenders in the rear) You can roll them by carefully bending them up with padded wrenches and then using a light dead blow hammer in stages, hard to do and look good but is how I completely hemmed mine. Another option is to rent a fender roller from one of the tire houses or purchase from Eastwood Co.

Also do a search here for a thread on a fender roller for rent as a member has one and does exactly that.

I borrowed some 17x11 wheels with 315s on them for my old 97 Z. Even after the BFH it was a TIGHT TIGHT fir. Also, i would recommend getting some tubular LCAs if you dont already have them. The stock ones are big and get really close to the tire.
