I have a '98 with 17" rebels. I currently have 245's on it and there are no issues. I would think it's possible to run up to a 275 width on these without a problem, but I have yet to look into doing this. Here's a pic:

stankilr your t/a looked awesome! what made you go with 18 and not 17 in the back? offset? Also, will the 245/40 match the 275/40 in the back as far as sidewall? or 245/45 be better?

Verdad Gallardo I loved the deep dish look in the rear. The 245/40/17's will match the 295/35/18's in the rear.
So everyone's running the 245's up front with the Rebels? I'm about to buy a set of 17x9 black rebels and was going to put 275's all the way around but I've heard that setup will rub on the front due to the offset.

I have 4 17x9 rebels and am running 275/40/17 all the way around. I know in the front there is a tiny tiny rub in the front inner fender but nothing that would cause and problems.
Also when i launched sideways once, I got some fender slash in on tire but that was a freak accident cus it has not happened again.
Here are some pics.
Mine is a 1997 Trans Am though, but fenders should be mostly the same.

brejhca what offset are your rebels? From what I got the offset +25 will work in front and back but better in back with 18x10 offset +41! I just dont want my rims too far out. I was going to run 245/40 or 245/45 up front! Anybody with diff. suggestions? ideas?

Goodluck finding the 18x10's. I ordered the last set AR had in stock and one of the rims was fucked up so I sent them back. They will not start making them untill late april.
