I just heard a rumor that a 285 can fit on an 18 in the front of my 02 Camaro without rubbing....is that true?

With the right offset yes, and no I do not know waht it is . . .

Honestly do not see why you'd want to run a 285 up front. But anyway depending on the offset of the wheel will dictate whether it will rub. My 275's rub, but my offset is very extreme

Well im thinking that with bigger tires in the front that my car will be able to handle better...

I have a chance to buy a set of 98 C5 vett mag wheels the gold coloured ones without tires will they fit my 99 Z 28

They are the soft satin gold ones. 2 x 17" and 2 x 18". the seller hasn't put the widths in his ad but, I have read this thread and I think the fronts are 8.5 wide and will fit.

The rears I think will be 9.5" Will these fit without BFH or will I need spacers on the rears.

I was hoping to swap my 245/45/17 tires for the fronts I want to put Nitto 555r Dr's on the back but what size would fit.

Edit :The seller says they are 17x 8" and 18 x 9" ?

Something

I found a nice combo 17/18 inch C5 wheels. The offset up front is 57mm, and the rear is 65mm. On a non lowered car, would these go do-able without any rub? Oh, and for the rear, I would need like a 1.5 inch spacer, right?

What offset do I need to put 17x11 zr1s on my SS?

On a road racing course yes, on the street, not really . . .

Front tire a 245/45ZR17 out back a 275/35ZR18.

Xsta Z 28

They would be tucked in. The fronts will bolt up but the rear will definitely need a spacer.

Ok....so what would be the ideal tire for 17x11?

315? I'm not really understanding the original post in the thread. Maybe I'm being goober right now. lol

Yes 315's are your best bet.

I currently have 315/35/17 Nitto 555R on American Racing TT II 17x11 on the rear and 275/40/17 Nitto 555 on American Racing TT II 17x9.5 on the front. The 315s scrub and have some nice scars around the sidewall. I rolled the fender lip at the top and cannot tell if they are still scrubbing, but more than likely they are. Anyway, my question is will Nitto 555 285/40/17's fit on the ARTTII 17x11 rims? I called and asked some tire shops, a few said yes and some said no. 285mm = 11.4 inches so technically they should fit, but I dont want to order them and find otherwise. The 315s also look as if they barely fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

For a daily driven car?

Why would that make a difference? I certain;ly would not put on a drag radial, but a nice tire such as the Goodyear GSD3 will work fine.

Will the new C6 Z06 19x12's with 325/30 tires fit the F-body????

Xsta Z 28

Seriously doubt it . . . 11" wheels with 315's really don't fit Camaros IMHO . . .

by not fitting, do you mean sticking out, or are we talking about the inner dimensions as well? NOthing that a BFH can fix? I was thinking of going this route too, and don't mind if they stick out as I can always flare out the rears. I just wasn't sure if they'd fit the inner walls without tubbing.

Thnx man, I was also going to ask with the 19x12’s would the problem be in the inner fender or do you think they would stick out too much and hit the outer fender? And do you think that tubbing the F-body would make it fit?

The only fender mods I have so far is

-spacer
-completely rolled outer fender
-completely beat in (as much as I could by hand) inner fender with a hammer


Thnx again for your time!
