What is the widest/skinniest tire I can fit on these rims? I currently have 235's on there and am looking to buy some used tires so I can sell the car. I found some 205's, are they too skinny?
One of the factory sizes is 215/60 but you could also go 225, 235, 245 (most common), and 255. If you were to go with 225 or 235 go with a 55 series. If 245 and 255 go with a 50 series. You can technically get a 205/60 on the rim but its stretching it. I have a 205/60 on my spare rim, but I've never used it.
Yes, but that was only on the steel wheels which were 7 inches wide. I wouldn't put a 215 tire on an 8" rim personally.
Steel wheels were 7.5", and the 215/60r16 came on the alloys too. Our Firebird had them as the factory size as did my friend's Z28. It was in the options. His Z28 has a 110 mph speedo and was limited to 108, all because of it coming with 215/60r16s. Also my snow tires are 215s and are fine.
You're right, 7.5", that's what I meant. That's a screwy option combo for a Z28. 245/50/16 was the standard size for Z28. That must have been a state regulation of some sort, because as per the owners manual, 215/60/16 was standard for V6, alloy wheels automatically netted 235/55/16, and Z28's all got 245/50/16.

My car came originally with 16 X 8.5" steel wheels. Size was stamped right on the wheel.
They were wrapped with Good Year Eagle GA 215-60/16. (Got 104k out of those tires.)
I'm running Michelin 225-60ZR16 now. 225-60s keep the ride comfort and are a
tad meatier than the 215s. They fill that fender well gap a bit more, too.

Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
