275/40/20 tires on 9" rims on front end

Has anybody run 245/40/20" on 9" wide stock rims on the front of a 2012 Camaro????

Not quite sure what your looking for as your question can be answered two different ways?

First: Will the 245/40/20 tires fit on a 20"X9" wheel? Yes they will fit perfectly. The minimum size you would want on a 20" wheel is 235, ideal would be 245 or 255, amazingly Chevrolet has mounted 275/40/20 tires on 9" wheels

Secondly: Will 245/40/20 tires mounted on 20"X9" wheels fit on the front of the Camaro? Yes they will. Currently I am running two different "Square" setups on my 2014 Camaro.
1. 20"X8.5" OEM 2019 wheels, tires are 245/40/20, as I stated this is a square setup, same size on all four corners.

2. 20"X10" ZL1 Replica wheels, tires are 275/35/20, again, same size tires on all four corners. Snug but they fit well with no issues what so ever.

Hope this answered your question.
Larry

and yet a different square set up that a lot of people run, myself included, is to run the rear stock wheels/tires on all four corners. 275/40/20's on 20x9 stock wheels all the way around.

This is what I am going to do on my recently purchased 2012 Camaro, 275/40/20 on 9" wide stock wheels on all 4 corners.

Search function here is very good if used. Several of us 10 years ago did this by purchasing a set rear wheels and tires and running them on the front. Took most of the factory understeer out of car with no other mods.
