Here is the info from the DSE website:

Q: What are the largest size tires I can fit underneath a first generation Camaro?

A: With the stock suspension, the largest front tire is a P245/45R17 on an 8 inch rim or a P245/45R16 on an 8 inch rim. Areas to watch for signs of tire/wheel contact are; tire inner sidewall to subframe under full lock steering, wheel inner to stock upper control arm during full lock steering, tire outer sidewall to fender lip especially on 1969 models. The largest rear tire is a P275/40R17 on a 9.5 inch rim.

Hope this helps with your decision

275/35/18 on a 10" rim with a 6.125 BS is what we put on them.
