i think all 4th gens can easily take a tire width of 275 all around if matched with the correct sidewall size. Â*my SS has 275/40/17, so if you drop a wheel size i think it would work out to something like 275/45/16. Â*
my friend had 255's on his 88 iroc, they looked good as hell and fit the rear wheelwell perfect.
i have 295's on the rear of my vette on the early stock style 15" alloy rim. a little buldge but not ugly or unsafe.

i dunno if everyone knows the meaning of the tire numbers, i didnt when i first got into cars, so ill just post what i was told. Â*for example 275/40/zr17...275 = width, 40=% aspect ratio of sidewall to width, and of course 17=rim size. Â*correct me if im wrong though.

the 17" wheels were an inch wider then the 16" wheels. do not try to mount a 275mm width tire on a stock 16" wheel. it is unsafe. 255 is max
