If you could get a lot of them for free... on stock 17's.

(good z rated tires with summer/performance tread)

is anyone using these size tires on this size rim? i have seen a couple people on here that have listed them when I do a search... thanks

I would run them if they are free. The Z28's and reguler Trans Am's come with 245 width tires. When they wear out, just get some 275s

Stock tire sizes were: 245/45 R 16 (Base model v6s & standard z28/WS9) [B]16"x8"[B] rim and [B]275/40 R 17[B] (17" option and SS/WS6) [B]17"x9"[B] rim

If I'm wrong please someone correct.

that's the plan, unless i hear that 245 width tires will self destruct on my 17 inch rim causing F-body Armageddon....

That's why, I don't want to rip up my brand new 275/40/17's ....

they do look a little on the skinny side though... i was hoping someone that has run them would say something....
