Depends on how wide the wheel is.
If it is a 10 or 11 wide should be good to go 315s.

then you need a 10" or wider wheel. 8" is for 245s

Ya I have 315 BFG's on a 9.5 and they overhang a bit to much for that rim. But you can def get bigger than a 245 on an 8" rim, 275 for sure maybe a 285

I run an 11.5 on a 8"(maybe 8.5?) snowflake rim and it doesn't overhang too bad.

dude, 315/45's arent going to be much smaller. If you want it to fit on your vette you should probably get a 315/35 or maybe you could squeeze a 315/40 on

315/40 is 27" inches tall, I doubt you could fit that on your vette. 315/35 is probably what you'll need
