can you fit 275 tires on a 1st gen subframe?

building a 67 camaro right now, is it possible to fit a 275 tire on the front of a stock subframe?
thanks

Yes. It will require some serious measuring, and you will have to limit the turning raduis to do so. Look for CarlC's website for more details.

Here's a thread on notching the subframe to allow 275's:

Carl C has some great info and rim specs on this on his site too--

No need to notch to fit 275's. It should work with stock A-arms as well. Steering limiters would need to be adapted.

For those that feel that the reduced turning radius is a problem, all I can say is that after four years it is still not a major problem. 3-point turns and parking spaces are easy.

I am doing 275s on stock sub with Unisteer R&P, Air Ride upper/lower control arms. Our initial turning radius testing doesn't show much of a compromise, at least not as much as we thought there would be. No notching required.
