I'm thinking about getting some 17x9.5 wheels, does anyone have pictures of the rear of their car with wheels/tires this wide? And would I have any worse problems with the fronts rubbing? Mine rub right now as it is with te 16x8 IROC-Z wheels and 245/50-16 tires. Would it get even worse or just stay about the same? I plan on lowering my car with the pro-kit, and getting 17x9.5 wheels with the normal 275/40-17 tires. Anyone have some good shots of their Camaro with the ronal r15(Firehawk)wheels? I have found 2 pics of a bright red camaro, but nothing else. Thanks.

P.S. Isn't 17x9.5 pretty much as wide as I can get without any modifications?

 

I have them
I wish i would of went with a slightly wider tire, 285 maybe
I like a bit of a bulge

nice looking car!!

 

so 285s fit the rear easily?

 

275/45ZR17 tires on 17x9 or 9.5 ZR1 rims. No rubbing in the back at all. Fronts rub only when turned to full lock.

 

Nosaint.. I compliment you on the rear wing, it looks good on there.

 

I know the 285/40/17 has a diameter almost perfect for a stock replacement for my car (90RS). My stock tire is a 215/65/15. I thought about using 255/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 in back but from this news if that 285 will fit that sounds good.

 

 

 

oops, those are the 9" wide rims, here are the 9.5"
