Widest recommended is a 255/50/16

The 02 wheels will require a little "clearancing" where the axle hub goes into the wheel. The center hub is slightly larger on the LT1 cars. I had to do it when I put my 02 CETA wheels on my 94 Z28

+1 on the 255s. You could go taller than a 50 series but it would look like sh*t.

255/50/16 like said above is fine to run on the 16x8 wheels.

I ran 255/50/16 Dunlop Sp5000's on my car when it was newer. Best all around tire I've ever had on the car! Checked Dunlop's website, apparently you can't buy them any more.
