Tire Size on stock rims

Hi!


I have a 1992 camaro rs, with stock rims on it. The tires i have on it right now are p215 65 r15. I was wondering whats the biggest sized tire i can put on these rims without any problem. I believe the rims are 15x7.5"

Thanks in advance for the input!!

stock rims are 15x7...235 is your best bet 245 are too big..they will fit but will crown ....also 245s are stock but on 16x8 rims

I had 255/60/15's on the rear of mine no problem., 225s up front, I don't think I'd go bigger than 235s up front though

i've put 275/60/15's on them with no issues. they don't handle very well at all, but they were drag radials so it wasn't ment for handling. a 235/60/15 all the way around looks very healthy though honestly and they handle really really well.

I run 235/60/15's on 15" IROC wheels on my '88 IROC, they fit well, and the car handles very nicely.




New Craigslist wheels.

That Size Was Actually A Rare Factory Option.

My car had Greg Weld DragStars on it when I purchased it, 6" wide front, and 8" rears.

I was fortunate, and found a Craigslist seller less than 50 miles away that had these for sale, a complete set. I talked him down to $120.00 for them.

I sold the Weld wheels to my son for his '87 El Camino. They look better on his car anyway.
