235/60/16
Has anyone ever run these on there f-bodys. I had a friend give me two that look like brand new. I have 225/55/16 now, I know, you don't have to say anything but I got them real cheap. Only 10 bucks. I got them off of my cousin who but 17's on his car. I could use some back tires and I was wondering if the 235/60/16 would rub in the back. I would be putting them on the 16" crosslace rims and on a 86 firebird thanks.

I don't think you'll run into any problems running them in the back. They're 27.1 inches tall and the original tires are 25.7 inches. They'll throw off your speedometer though.

Re: 235/60/16
I personally ran 235/60-16's on my rear 8 inch Iroc rim with 225/60-16's up front. They fill out the fenderwell much better and ride is much improved. I never had rubbing issues. I would reccomend that setup to anyone! I have 295/50-16's out back now, and it never rubs on stock suspension. I would suggest getting 225/60's for the fron though, as 225/55 is kind of a big size difference, but try it out, and tell us how it works and looks!
