Can you post a pic?
I'm thinking of getting 245/45-16's but don't want them to look to small.

I've got stocker 245/50 R16's if that'll help ya...?? I believe the 245/45's would be just less than 1/2" shorter in total (both top and bottom).. hardly noticable?
btw I love the graffix on your camaro.. it really sets it off!!

245/50/16 stockers have outside diameter of 25.7 inches
245/45/16's have smaller profile and measure 24.7 inches so its an inch shorter over all. which will throw off the speedo some, but make your gears feel deeper
and with stock ride hieght i think its gonna look bad, too much wheel well gap

I put Yokahama AVS ES 100's on last year. They are way stickier than the gatorbacks I had on before. The tires are 245/45/16 and I thought that the fender gap was too much at first. It kinda grew on me though. The car sits on a factory suspension.
