remember the bigger you go the worse your handling gets. I don't recommend wide tires for street purposes.

I think the 7.5 inches wide but I can't remember for sure, I know the optional rims were 8 inches wide. Anyway you could probably put 255's on them if the rims are 7.5 inches wide but those might be hard to find for a 16 inch rim, I don't know. I would just get the 215's if you are going to get new rims right away anyway.

Look at this way those POS rims make good winter wheels when you get your nice ones

If you lived close to me, I'd sell you mine. I don't need them anymore.

ya know what, just get the same size you have now. it will be much easier to find low cost tires.

I'm running 245/50/16s but i bet you could shove 255s on there. check out camarov6.com. if you search there, you will be able to find a definate answer.
