275/55/16 or 295/50-16 for Stock Wheels Which one would make better fit on stock 16x8 wheels in the rear, ET street radials? I don't mind a spacer or BFH at the rear.
Was looking for 27" size on stock 16" wheels but could not find.
And pics of the tires on 98-02 Camaro are appreciated.

There are a few threads on here about the 295 on the stock wheels, it takes a bit of beating the inner fenderwell but they fit and IMO look bad ***....the 275 fit without any mods I think and they are the same height(almost) but a little narrower...I'd go with the 275's, less hassle to get them on your car and have some fun and they'll still hook great. Now using a 8 inch rim for a 295 is going to pull the outside of the tread off the ground a bit so the contact patch difference between a 295 and a 275 mounted on the stock 8 inch rims might not be much.....IMO 275's are the way to go.
