Biggest tire for me?

I have 15 x 7 Camaro rims on my GTA with 235/60R15 on all four. (The BBS's were stolen.) I have a chance to get 255/70R15 for a really good price. Can I do put 'em out back?

235/60R15 - 26.1" diameter $54 each
255/60R15 - 27.0" diameter $60 each
255/70R15 - 29.0" diameter $57 each ---(big meats)

I know about the speed-o. (11.3 mph to slow)
I just want to know if they will fit.
I think it will look kinda tough too. The car is old and I just want to have fun with it, and it is my daily driver.

The price is right and I was just wanting some advise before I do something I may regret.

Thank you

Chris

yeah 255's should fit no problem, i have an old CC article on tires and stuff like that for 82-92 f-bodys. you could go 275's with a 2 inch spacer on all fours, but i think they said that the fronts would rub the sway arm in long slow corners at the track, but if you had some tight bushings it shouldn't be that much of a problem to go with 255's
