Default Will a 285/30/20 work on the rear of a trans am?

Im looking at a set of 18" for the front, and 20" for the rear.

Will a 285/30/20 tire work that has a 26.7 diameter over the stock 25.6 diameter be ok?

is that 1.1 inch really matter that much?--or will it be fine. thanks in advance, Zoran <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think on a stock ride height that tire size would work.
However, it is tall enough to screw up your speedometer/odometer... but you can always recalibrate that.

Whatever tire height you do pick, make sure it is the same on all four corners or it will play hell with your ABS & ASR systems.
