tire size?

is it possible to run a 225/60/15 on the front of my camaro? I am trying to get new tires but having trouble finding the same size.

I have a 215/60/15 up front and 245/60/15 out back on the stock rims
could I fit a 225/60 on the front?

So a 215/65/15 on the front then a 255/60/15 on the rear?

What about a 225/60/15 front then a 255/60/15 on rear

that would fit, if a 245/60/15 up front fit than a 225/60 will

you may need to work out the fender lip some for the 255 on the back

I went with a 215/65/15 up front and a 245/60/15 in the rear. Some Les Schwab Grand Prix Performance GT they should last along time.

you will like that stock size upfront, if you went with a 215/60 it would of been slightly smaller, and all, our car drag enough with stock size tires, smaller ones dont make life any easier, post up some pics when you get some time
