Re: 295/50/15 on Camaro?

I did no cutting just a BIG hammer. Wheels are 15"x10" with a 6.5" BS. In this pic, the red areas needed massaging and if you plan on hard cornering the yellow areas need room also. The red area on the left (rear) of this picture is not needed on the driver side:

I'm not sure what you have as far as LCA's, but I'm pretty sure stock will touch the tire:

You could probably fit a 315/60/15 tire on the same wheel, but would take either severe hammering or some cutting/welding. Some are using 295/65/15's without too much trouble too.

Re: 295/50/15 on Camaro?

I was using 275/60/15 on 10" with 5"B.S and they were rubbing on the fender and then a friend of mine told me that my car dont have a rubber under the coil springs on rear and he told me that could be my problem with rubbing so I put the rubber spacer there and I hope with 295/50 they dont touch anything and yes I did hammer all that yellow area

Re: 295/50/15 on Camaro?

I have 295/50/15's on my 91 RS and did not beat anything with a hammer or anything. They sit 2in. out of the fender well. I would show some pics but I don't have any right now.They are on 15x10 outlaw II rims.

Re: 295/50/15 on Camaro?

The back space on my rims are 5in. The space between the tire and what people are beating with a hammer are 31/2in. I also have air shocks on it, with at least 30psi of air. I have no rubbing on corners. When I bought these rims 10 yrs ago I told them I wanted them to sit 2in out of the fender well. I got them at Pepboys. These rims have been on my 84 camaro,85 RS clone,89 RS clone and now my 91 RS. I haven't had any problems with the rims or tires at all.
