Widest Rim/Tire for stock suspension

I am looking for what is the widest rim/tire sizes for stock suspension.
and what offset is needed for it to work.

I search I can find it. I hear people putting 305s on the rear but no one says rims offset and I havent found anything on front tires.
Thank you in advance

Im running 20x10's up front w/275/40/20 tires and they just clear the strut spring base.....out back i have 20x11.5 with 305/35/20's (315/35/20's work also).....think this is about the widest you will be able to go. Tires are tucked inside the wells.

What model wheels?
What are the offsets?

what is the offset of the rims ?
offset will make or break if a rim fits..

Widest wheels/tires without interference issues are 10" wide fronts and 11" wide rears. That allows a 275 wide front tire, 315 wide rear tire. If you go with a coil-over front suspension, you can run a little wider tire up front than a 275, since the shock body doesn't interfere as much as the factory strut spring perch.

As for offsets, that information isn't really shared by manufacturers or dealers until you make a purchase. Several of us bought or rented 2010 Camaros and took the measurements ourselves, and we'd prefer to not make it easy on competitors to get this information. Buy from experienced dealers and manufacturers who know what fits.

I'm an actual 2010 SS owner, not many wheel vendors can say that.
