Hey guys, what tires would i have to run to put stock z06 wheels on my 84 camaro? Also would i have any rubbing issues?

you could run the stock z06 sizes. you will need spacers to use the wheels

Yeah but you have to measure the back spacing of the wheels first. As long as your under 6" of back space with the wheel and spacer together for the rear you will be fine. Here is a chart that I used to determine what I needed. Originally Posted by //<86TA>\\

I went with a P315/35R17 drag radial and they were about 1/8" to 1/4" shorter than the stock height and you wont notice that on your speedo.Originally Posted by Military Clone

When you guys say z06 rims are you referring to the 325/30/ZR19 & 275/35/ZR18 c6 rims? If so that would be phenominal....
Im running 18x9.5 with 245-45-18 with a little bit of rubbing on the front but only when i turn the wheels like half way.
Also using 2" spacers all the way around

do your tires looked like they are stretched onto the rim?
Supposed to have 275/35/18 tires on that width.

You need a total backspace of 4.6" with the wheel and spacer together for it no to rub. You say you have 2" spacers now and I bet you have a 6.8" to 7.1" backspace on your front wheel. I would jump up to a 2.25" or 2.5" spacer especially if your going to the 275/40s soon.

What is the back space on your wheels? Sounds like this one is going to be tight with 345's...Originally Posted by Camarobad

I have P315/35R17 drag radials and it doesn't rub because I have the right size spacers so the wheel offset is perfect. As in you case 335 is pushing it but I dont see why it wont work with the correct back space with your wheel and spacer combo. What is the back spacing of your rear wheel?Originally Posted by Camarobad
