245-45-17 up front, 275-35-18 or 275-40-18 on the rear. 275 is too wide for an 8.5" width wheel - 255 would be the max.

Re: vette wheels need help
I have an 86 Iroc and was wondering if anyone has noticed any suspension, steering or tire wear issues with putting the 2" spacers on front and back since it changes how the wheels actually align on the camaro?
