Default Stock 16" Camaro wheels

What is the widest tire I can fit on a stock 16" chrome camaro wheel on my 1998 Camaro z28. I just bought the car and it has 245's on the stock wheels those are just way to small. Also could I use a wider tire if I used spacers. I have looked on here for awhile and couldn't find much so any info would help. Thanks

the widest i would put on a stock 16" rim is a 255, spacers are not gonna let you get a bigger tire on the rim, stock rims are 16 x 8. you should start looking for different rims either some 17 x 9 for all the way around or 17x 9 front and 17 x 11 rears then you can fit a 275 up front and as wide as a 315 out back. but the widest i would even think of going on a 16 is 255.

on the stock chrome rims is it possible to have the 255/50r16 or the 275/45r16 on a "prior" 98' RS Camaro instead of the stock 235/55r16?

You can also use 1" hub spacers in the rear to make the look a lot beefier!
Check my photo albums to see how you like the look.
