Best wheel/tire for an 84-Z
I just bought new torq thurst m wheels (http://www.americanracing.com/browse_ar.asp) and now I need some 17 inch tires. I have an 84-Z28 and I don't know how wide of a tire to get (235/245/255)
I also don't know how wide of a sidewall would be best (45/40)
I am trying to stay away from getting a tire w/a sidewall so big it overcrowds the wheel-well
But I've never bought 17'' tires before so I have no clue what will look right
3 questions:
How wide do 235/245's look? Do they stick out a ****-ton?
Ho do your tire sizes look on your own camaros?

Dont know what size you got, but a 17x11 will house a 305/35/17 tire in the back and look simply sick. But assuming you at least got the 9 inch wide wheel, a 275/40/17 would do great all the way around. 245 looks like crap on the back. But the front is ok.

not really sure what you mean by when you say backspacing. they said it would just fit perfectly

I believe 4.5-5.5 of BS. But dont take my word on it. Do a search and see what you come up with.
