      275 fronts?

      I've done a search and didn't come up with anything so forgive me if this has been covered. I notice that it's been said you have to do some things with the 69 Camaros to fit a 275 series front tire but never seen that explained. Can someone list the necessary "to do's" and a pic or two for this please? Thanks.

      Bob

      My car has 275's front and 335's back.

      I am running the inner fenderwells, but the car has an aftermarket FatMan subframe. The frame is a bit more narrow so I can run the tires but the turning radius is not that great. You can see in the pic that the wheelwell is "filled". I will most likely go to a 245/315 combo when I put in the new C5 subframe (Nitto NT01's)

      Here is the pic..

      I should have specified that as I understood it this required modifications was with a stock sub frame. Sorry.

      What backspacing on your wheels? Has the car been lowered at all?
      Thanks, Brett
