Ive been wondering how big of tires can i fit on my car. I dont know cause i am buying new tires for my car (92 formula) this spring when it comes out of storage....anyways i want to know if i can put wider tires on it without having to mess with spacing, etc. cause i dont want to put skinnier tires on the rear end (breaks loose too easy as it is lol) maybe less wide in the front and wider in the back? it has p245 50zr16's all around on it right now..thank you

 

im thinkin a 255/50/16 is as big as your gunna get on a stock wheel.

 

yea that's the biggest on the 16in rims

 

Good news! I didnt think anything bigger would fit, this will save me the headache when i buy'em.

 

my friend runs a 295/50/16 on his 90 formula with no problems, I'm going to run the same thing and he has them on the stock 16x8 wheels. well in the back only and 245's in the front. And kewl to know I'm not the only keith on this forum

 

Oh wow! I might have to look into that. That would help a lot when i go to the track.. ive tried just rolling up to the lights and ive tried warming up the tires before i get there and they always break loose when i launch... but wait, would that big of a tire fit without rubbing the wells? or when your turning? like i said i dont really want to mess with spacers or anything.....but yea i didnt think it was that common of a name either

 

are you stock height? his car is slammed and the only problem is when he turns hard but hiss car has the springs cut and he has it slammed so decently lowered or stock height will be fine

 

Yea everything on it is stock. Even the tires too.. (suprisingly).

 

I ran the BFG 295/50R16's on my lowered 92 with zero rubbing problems, years ago.

Sadly, this is the ONLY pic I have of it, that een remotely shows it.


As far as tire choices go, there are several stock 245s. Some 255s. The a jump up to the BFG 295, for street legal tires.

 

The 295's worked on ours as well but we had to pound on the inner fenderwells a bit.

 

hey stephen, what lowering kit did you use on that camaro? if you still remember

 

A free one, called labor & a 3.5" grinder!

Yes, I cut the stock springs. Use a thin, metal cutting wheel & don't overheat the spring, and it is perfectly safe.

I used a 5 gal bucket of water. Put the spring in it, with just enough sticking out to cut, yet no worries about the grinder getting in the water. The water dissipated what heat built up. Is that overkill(the water)? Probably. But doing it that way I KNEW the springs wouldn't get overheated & sag any.

 

lol yea i currently have the springs cut on my formula but i'm running 245/50/16s, how many coils did you cut in the rear? I know I will need to raise my car back up.
