Default What Tires to get !!

just got the C5 DD Rims for my 1995 camaro z28.
Car is not lowered. all suspension is pretty much stock.

The rim sizes are 17x9.5 offset 54mm. Would the 275 40 17 tires hit any side of the fender? If so what tires side do recommend.
Some pictures of a similar setup would be nice. Rear or front pictures.
Thanks

I have the same wheels and I'm running 275/40/17 all the way around without any problems BUT I am running that size in a Nitto NT-555 street tire (not the R, drag tire) and they run a little smaller on the width side of the spectrum than other tires out there so I don't see a problem at all with you running that size especially since your not lowered and running stock suspension where as I'm lowered and didn't have to much problems.

i used to run 17x9.5 Z06 rims with 275/40/17 on all fours. As far as tires, are you looking for something to hook? or just some good street tires to run? I am running nexxen n3000 right now and have no problems with them.
