Couple of questions, what is the stock rim size in width and how big of a tire can i fit on it, i think it is a 255 but correct me if i am wrong. Then i am going to get some new 18s and i was wondering what are the biggest and smallest size tires that i can fit on a rim that is 9.5 and the same question for one that is 10.5?

Stock rims are 16X8 and I believe 255s are correct for those.
As far as the 9.5s I have had 245s and have seen 315s, but I don't know the largest/smallest for sure. -
If you look at detailed tire specs, either on manufacturers websites or at
www.tirerack.com
you'll see recommended rim widths for various tires.2000 Firebird convert, chameleon/tan, M5, Y87, TCS, BMR tower brace and panhard, KBDD sfcs, 245/50-16 GSCsComment

Why is it that some of the 9.5s recomend 245 and others do 275? Why the hell would i get a 9.5 if i was going to run a 245? If the recommend a 245 is it still fine if i run a 275? And lastly, will the 18inch by 9.5 on a 275 rub if i lower it on eibach springs?2002 M5 camaro- VTR CAI, custom cat-back exhaust, battery compacitor, pullie, lowering springs, 32mm sway bar, cross-drilled slotted rotars. 1-10\" L7 in cubby.Comment

tires are rubber... mostly. they stretch and bend. the range in the 9.5's is like the range in 8's. you can put a 225 or a 255 tire on it. I dont think anybody would buy a 9.5" rim and then put 245 tires on... well, anybody other than GM anyway. But you could....
you will be fine with a 275 wide tire on a 9.5" rim.
I think if you stay with a 40 height tire or less you wont rub.\'01 Mineral Grey SVT Cobra<br />-former F-body ownerComment
