I would say at least 275s. I dont know how safe a 245 tire would be on such a wide rim. 275s wont even bulge out on a 9.5" wheel. I think you need some 315s in the back and 275 in the front. That would be bad ***.:hail:

yout think i should go 315 in the back and 275 in fornt. i was planing on going with 275 all around. Will the tire fit back there??? i think the most ill go with is 295 in the rear.

so will it look funny if i went with a bigger tire in the back than the front. I want to go with 295 in the back and 275 in the front for rubbing purpose. will that look ok or should i just keep the same tire all around????

I think that combo would look good. It would look wierd to have a 295 on front. unless you have an AWD

you think that the rims size will look wired?? I dont think it will. it will give it that sporty look i think. the zo6's have the same combination. and they look sweet. and i know its a diff car but. oh well. thanks for the inputs guys.

so many cars on the internet with those wheels no need to photochop.
the picture above shows it all. it's like riding around with a 15" spare when you have 16's...your car though so go with it.
