Default What is the widest possible tire that will fit my 1998 camaro z28?

I know I can use the search button but can't come up with a definitive answer to my question, so some help would be greatly appreciated. So here it is. So I already have 15x4's up front and just bought some 15x10's with a 7.5BS and 5x4.75. This will be going on my 1998 Camaro Z28 M6, I want to run MT ET Streets as it will be driven on street what is the absolute widest tire that can run with out wheel well modifications. Tire sizes and pics would help a great deal thanks fellas and chicks. One more thing will I need to grind calipers with these wheels? Once again thanks.

Sorry to throw my own question in here but I figured it's better than starting a whole new thread. Will 305s fit on 9.5" rims and will I have to fender roll or do any modifications? I'm still at stock ride height.

Any size tire will fit, just what are you willing to do to make them fit. And the answer to this question has been give so many times, every tire manufacturer is different. Some tires a 315 will be tight, others it's a 325, hell, a 335 might fit for another company.

Can you put a 305 on a 9.5, sure, will it fit right, nope. I have a 305 on my 10.5" wide rims, and there's some slight bulge, not bad, but it's there.
