Hey all, got a 93 z28 w/ the stock alloy rims....was wondering, for next racing season, what's the biggest (rear) and smallest (front) tires I can fit on these stock wheels? I'm looking at BF Goodrich for the ongoing brand... Mr. Luos 11-26-2006, 02:18 PM Go with the stock size tires. They will give you the best footprint. Don't want to go over sized as you will lose contact patch. 97cavalier 11-26-2006, 03:05 PM 275's all around, that will do nice. thermal izod 11-26-2006, 04:43 PM what is the stock size? I bought it w/ 245's on it....275's all around works well? Mr. Luos 11-26-2006, 05:22 PM Depends on how wide they are. I run 275's on a 9-9.5" wheel. Wouldn't run anything else...but I could. If I put a 315 on a 9.5" wheel, I would have less contact patch than if I had a proper size 275 on it because the tire would have to 'bow' out to fit. If they are an 8" wheel...get a 245. Best contact patch. poormillionaire2 11-26-2006, 08:20 PM Yeah, the stock wheels are 8.5", so 245's are the way to go. 97cavalier 11-26-2006, 10:06 PM ha, i have 295's on my 8" american racing rims ,LOL thermal izod 11-26-2006, 10:15 PM thanks guys....245's it is...
