Biggest rear tires that will fit an fbody?
I am looking at putting some good sized rims on my camaro. I am liking the c6 z06 size. 19x12 rear and 18x9.5 front. I know that the front tires will fit fine, but will the rears fit without hacking up my inner fender wells? I have tubular LCA's that are relocated and an adjustable panhard already installed to prep for the bigger rims.
Will the rims fit? If so, will I need to roll the fenders, or what? PLease adivse!
oh yea, its a 99 if that matters.

They will help, but BEWARE if you are going to run spacers on a daily driver. My buddy did this with his and broke the rear studs after a few weeks of weekend racing. BTW he was running a 275 BFG KDW tires, not DR's.

It's not usually the fault of the studs when they break. Using a spacer makes the wheels non-hubcentric and all of the stress is then put on the lugs themselves. That plus a lot of people in the past would run spacers without getting longer studs and thereby have less threads to secure the wheels with. My local auto parts store doesn't even sell plate spacers anymore because of this, and insurance liability.
