Default biggest tires?

I just finished putting 2010 Camaro SS 14" Brembo Brakes on up front, only to find that my Lexani LSS-5 20s +35mm don't fit, thankfully my 225/55-18 snow rims fit, so I've ordered a new pair of LSS-5's from Lexani in a +25mm offset to clear the calipers. now that I've got all kinds of extra clearance by the strut whats the biggest tire I can go? I'm thinkin a 265/35/20 would possibly fit but I'd like a 275/35/20...we're only talking about the fronts, I've got 245/40/20s for the back...Thanks in advance!

Gxp25 is making a kit now so you can use the stock gxp wheels. Let us know how much better it stops compared to stock. Also just wondering how much it cost for the full swap?

@ gettin faster...I just followed Drunkie's instructions found at the following link http://www.grandprixforums.net/offic...kes-46217.html

@ hawkins04...don't the stock GXP wheels fit unmodified? Guys on the forum linked to above are running them with no problems...the swap with everything was around $650, not bad for 4 piston brembos, and they stop fantastically from what I've been able to put them through so far, but it's only been about 200 miles, I'm still breaking them in

Can anyone shed light on the tire size question?

I'm not sure on an impss but there was a guy running 255/35/20's on a gxp
I though for sure you needed a little less offset as in like 30 compared to the 40 or so we have

problem is I already have the rear tires, Toyo Proxes 4, and I had to get new front rims to fit over the brakes, they're a +25mm offset now and I'm confident that a 265/35-20 will fit but Toyo doesn't make the matching tire in that size, but they do make a 275/35-20...
