Safely? No, definitely not. If you find somewhere that will mount those, run away. Even a 275 on a 10.5" wheel is stretching it.

I wouldn't go any smaller than a 275 on a 10.5 rim. The 275's on the front of mine really aren't stretched much at all. They have a section width of 11". But, the actually overall width of the rims, from lip to lip is 11.5".

There is a picture of a blue camaro in the OE wheels thread of a 275 on a 10.5 rim. It looked very streched and pretty unsafe.
I believe it is on page 3 or so. He even replied to a question and said it was just temporary because it was so streched.

Is it so hard for people to look up the tire manufacturers specs for each tire size? I personally wouldn't trust billy bob on this forum to give me the proper specs for a safe setup. Find your tire brand and size on tire rack and click on the specs. For a michelin pilot sport ps2 in a 275 35 18, the recommended rim width range is 9-11". It's 8-9.5" for a 245 40 18. If michelin say's it's ok to mount a 275 on a 11" rim, I highly doubt it is unsafe and dangerous. A 245 40 18, on the other hand, is unsafe according to the manufacturer.

275 is fine but I wouldn't go any smaller. I have 275 on my front wheels that are 10.5 windth, but I wouldn't go any smaller.

245/40's should be on an 8.5"
275/35's should be on a 9.5"
if u want 10.5's on the back, get a 295/35

malw_95z28

well i may just keep the 245's for an extra set for my gay salad shooters. as long as i can get the 275's in thr front and save $$$ im happy. do you guys know where to get s decent set of 295's

someday

the 245/40x18's will not fit on the stock 16" wheels... since u didn't buy the wheels yet, just buy the correct size for the front...
