With the right offset you can run 315s up front without issues

315's will fit up front.
Just don't go much over 26" tall and it will be fine.

how much more stress will a tire larger than 275 put on the power steering? Originally Posted by Mr. Luos

It shouldn't be that bad as long as you're moving Originally Posted by 2001camaroSS

Need a litte help as well???
I seen a guy here that was running a 19x9.5 HP Racing EVO 2 wheel and really want a set for my ride. My question is what tire size and back spacing would be needed with out the front rubbing? If that is possible. I do not plan on lowereing the car. Thanks for any help!

You could use ebay as a reference. Type in HPRacing Trans Am and see what comes up as far as size and offset.

As long as your overall tire height stays close to stock and the offset matches the car it should be fine Originally Posted by JeremyRay
