Michelin 275/295 on a stock 20" 2lt/as car? Issues? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My salesman just called at discount tire. He initially told me that 275/295 were fine for my car in the pilot super sports.

I just got a call a few minutes ago telling me that the rears are going to run a little tight. He said the wheel was thin and that it might look like I have a flat when its mounted.

I have heard of others with my setup but was wondering if I would run into any issues later on with this setup.

The fronts will be fine, but the back 295 in a Pilot SS is as wide as a Nitto Invo 315. What he means is that the tire sidewalls will bulge a little. It will be a tight squeeze. Personally, I would not do it.
