Does Anyone Know What’s The Widest Rear Tires I Can Get:

Hi Team,

Does anyone know what’s the widest rear tires I can get(without making modification to the car)? One thing I loved about my Vette ZO6 were the wide rear 345/30/19 wheels!!!

My 315's (Conti's) are 11.75 in wide. That's a lot of rubber on my ass end - and I'm loving it. Got 20x11 rims on the rears, 20x9 in the front on my SS/RS.

no... not safely. 285 is the widest that will safely fit on the factory rear wheel. I am sure some dumbasses have put 295 or 305s on but its not safe at all. 315... not a freakin chance.

if you are talking about stiegers comment... he was talking about on an aftermarket wheel when the OP was asking for STOCK

315 is the biggest that will fit ON THE CAR without modding the rear end or a mini tub.

the stock 9" rear wheel will only SAFELY accept up to a 285.
