Widest tire on OE SS/RS Front Rims - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I have a set of someone's take-off OE SS/RS 20" rims that I'll be mounting all-season's to for the winter months. My intent was to put OE sized tires on them and run the car that way 5 months out of the year.

But then I went recently and saw a picture of a 1LE with the SS/RS rims and dammit if they just don't ruin the look of the car COMPLETELY. So now I'm thinking I might pick up a set of knock-off 1LE rims, mount Pilot Sport A/S 3s on them, and run them in the winter months. Problem with this logic is that we're under contract to buy a bigger apartment within the next 90 days (followed by a ~$100K rennovation immediately thereafter) and a large purchase like new-rims is out of the question since I already have to buy 4 tires before winter comes.

So my next thought was to buy 4 tires in a size that would fit both the SS/RS rims and 1LE rims. This way, next summer I can swap the new tires I'm buying this year onto the 1LE rims. I was thinking about running 275/285 f/r. I know that I can get away with running a 285 on the SS/RS rears, but does anyone know if I can fit a 275 on the front OE SS/RS rims?

For the price of new wheels and tires, just buy a 2500 dollar beater and leave the 1LE in storage

The 1LE sits outside, there is no storage. And I pay almost $100/month/each for the parking spots I do have and two is the max for any 1 apartment. And most importantly, life is too short to drive a crappy car. I will drive my 1LE every damned day thank you.
