Can I run this size tire on the rear of my 82z with TTII's 17 x 9.5 with 5.5" backspacing? I want the back tire just a small size bigger than my fronts which are 275/40/17.

Cmon guys, I did a search and other people have asked the same question with no answers. It's just a shade wider than the 275...I think it should fit.

With 5, 5.5 inches of back spacing you SHOULD be able to.

Thats everything you could ever wish to know.

"The 89 Camaro can fit rims with a maximum of 4.95" front and 5.85" rear "

You have .35 left over if you go with 5.5 back spacing.
