i am currently running 265/35/18s on my lowered 01 bird. I am curious as to how high i could go without rubbing... roads are pretty good around here but I want to fill the fender well with a little more rubber, the ride has gotten a little rough so the more rubber the better :)thanks guys

Possibly, but you know it will throw off your speedo about 3-4mph and your odometer as well right?2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

yup, dont mind that, lol i didnt readjust my odometer last time i changed my tires so im going to compensate for the increased miles i got by getting larger tires [img]smile.gif[/img] but mainly because the tires look stretched over the rims and its ugly. i want the lip... the rims at 9.5 inches wide and 275s i think would fit perfect. but im going to try and find the biggest over that size that i can the cheapest.. do you guys recomend getting tires from tirerack? or from the local place that does punctures n **** for free? i duno if the free rotation is really worth it. i mean, i could just invest in some more jack stands and do it myself... what do you think? i cant dish out another 900 in tires... goood lord...-Hawk<br /><br />===================================<br />Black 2001 Pontiac Firebird<br />Automatic Transmission Street Bird<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453</a> <br /><br />\"Live like you were Dying\"Comment

Doesn't say on your site, are your wheels 18x9.5?
Like Wolf said, 275/40R18 is a common size due to the 'vettes using them, many tire choices available.1994 Firebird 3.4<br />15.65 @ 86.8<br /><a href=\"http://www.funkz.net/firebird.htm\" target=\"_blank\">funkz.net/firebird</a><br /><a href=\"http://mywebpages.comcast.net/funkz/timeslips.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Timeslips</a>Comment
