Largest Tire On 18" Heritage Wheel? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Can someone please let me know the largest tire (widest and tallest) that will fit on the rears using the stock 18" Heritage wheel? Thanks.

+1 for me. I have been looking there aren't many options in tire size with the 18. I work at a tire shop and non of my venders show many brands with compareable sizes for the 18. I keep playing with the tire size calculator to change height and width to what I think will fit and keep getting low options. At least our 245/55/18 is cheap.

How wide are the heritage 18's?

I think they are 7.5 according to the wiki:

So based on the sticky:

At most you could probably use a 255, but you might get some uneven wear on the center of the tread.

I know that when I went from the heritage to my 18x8.5's, the tire looked a lot less stretched and gained a more "rectangular" feel to it. When I get home later today I can bust out a tape measure and verify the wiki information.
