  • will the tires I want rub?

    I got a 94 3.4L camaro right now I have the stock 215/50/16 on all four tires. I want to put some 245/60/16 all the way around. But I'm concerned that with the higher profile tires that when I'm turning the front wheels they will rub on the wheel well or rub on something. Does anyone have these on their camaro and not rub?

    You have 215/50/16's stock? mine had 215/60/16 stock. I had to go to 245/50/16 to keep the speedo close to correct. If you have 215/50's then your speedo will have you going slower than what it says. If you switch to 245/60's then you will be goiong faster than what it says. But if you put on 245/50's then it will be real close to the actual speed.

        chill on andrew, and why in the hell do you want a 245/60 tire? Tire rack doesn't even have anything in that size.

          I want something thats going to fill up the wheel well more without having to lower the car. Too many potholes and dips in the roads around my house

            I have 245/50/16's all the way around on my 02 Firebird. I can turn all the way left or right and the tires do not rub. No rubbing in the rear either.

                I think you are confused. I think you have 215/60's and you want to go to 245/50's. Right? Those tires are about (within a half an inch) the same size in overall diameter, just the 245's are wider. I would definetly not put a 245/60 on there. That is basically a truck tire. Would look supa gay! Good luck though. ;)

                  yeah I would agree. go with 245/ 50 /16's.

                  Thats what I have on my car and the "gap" between the tire and wheel well looks normal to me.
