28x12x15 should be the biggest I would think. The width might be listed as 1150 and not 12.

lol @ 15" wide slick.

This totally depends on the car and wheels, which I am assuming is stock based on the lack of info. A 275 is about as wide as you can go on an LT1 Camaro without it sticking out Joe Dirt style or narrowing the axle or tubbing it.

I run a 275/60/15 drag radial which barely fits, the equivalent slick size would be roughly 28x11. If you don't mind it sticking out a bit and can get the right offset, a 12" may work but look a little tacky. 60 high is as tall as you can go on a 15" rim. Mine is BARELY away from hitting on the back of the car, like 1/4". Any suspension travel up or down moves it away from the closest part though, so it doesn't touch when launching or braking.

Firebirds can fit more wheel then Camaros.

The next questions is why do you think you need a giant slick? Too big of a wheel will just slow you down, and there are 275 radials that are good under 1,000hp drag cars.

Run this on a 15x9" rim with 6.5" Backspacing, or a 15x10 with 7.5" Backspacing.
