I have a 2011 Camaro SS and I was looking to go up in size for my tires and before purchasing anything, I wanted to know what needed to be done, if anything, and if their were any rubbing issues when going from 245 to 275 (front) and 275 to 315 (back). Thanks in advance

Do you recommend going bigger? Like 18’s? I just know that I don’t want to stay with the stock rim size.

Not too sure if you are for real or not, just sounds weird what you are asking, but 17's WILL NOT fit on a Camaro SS... They come with 20's. Here is some reading for you.

Lol I’m definitely real man. And that is why I’m asking. I appreciate the link

SCCA racers run 18s all the way around so they have a better selection of slicks and it lowers the car an inch from the stock 20s. Sometimes they have to run a spacer. ZL1s come stock with 285s up front and Z28s have 305s, so it's all in what wheel you choose. I run 275s up front on the vert and 305s on the turbo car.
