I like a 25.5" tire in front and a 27" tire in the rear of these cars, fill the wheel wells nicely. 71RS/SS396 has it nailed. These cars look good with a inch more rear tire, or a inch of tire and wheel stagger.

You could do it either way, if you do 17s with a 25.5 tire you will have slightly less rubber around the tire front then rear (which is OK, anything but more rubber showing on the front then the rear)

You save a couple hundred dollars doing 17s up front, and tires are a tick less money too.

Also, I want to add, if you are apprehensive about 18" front wheels being to big, you probably better go 17s. If you do not think you like 18s up front now, my experience says you won't like it once you own them. I am kind of a bigger wheel guy. I never try to talk anyone into a larger size wheel then they think they are comfortable with.

I agree. The 17's fit the Camaro way better than the Firebird. The Firebird has a much more round wheel well opening. The 18's are easier to get the wheel well filled. If I could have received the same look with 17's I would have went that route. Tires are lighter and less expensive. Both a plus.

I was really more concerned about the tires rubbing but no one has 18's on their car to even compare. I think the 18's will look well though.

If the backspace is right and the tire diameter is right, no worries on running a 18" tire

Just put my order in, thanks guys!

Glad we could help Trey!!
