I've really good luck with this tire but its time to replace my back ones, they are stock size on stock rim so 245/45? 40? sorry I cannot remeber stock off top of my head just woke up...anyways I was looking to go to somthing more like a 285 out back. Anyone got a picture of stock rims on a 98+ Trans Am (not WS6) running 285/40 or 285/45?? and also will it fit the stock rim ok? and lastly anyone know a good site or place to get this tire? I live in Wichita KS


yes i have been using search option either I overlooked or misread or just simply cant find what i'm looking for...maybe i'm catching a case of ADD whos knows

Well stock size is 245/50/16

And the widest you can go safely on a stock 16x8 wheel is 255/50/16

There are going to be people that come in here saying you can run bigger, and they have, blah blah blah...but it is not recomended and not safe. Read the sticky in this section and it tells you the max tire width on every size rim.
