What's up? I'm new here.

Got a quick question: will a set of 275/40R17's fit my '79 Camaro?
Found a sweet deal, but not able to try the fitment.

Appreciate the help yo.

Hi, Welcome!

You'll struggle with them that wide on the fronts, but they will definitely fit in the back.

However, the important thing is getting the right size wheels - width and back spacing.

Do they come with wheels? If so what size?

The wheels I have on are standard with rally rims. They are 235/60 R15's on the rear. I'm just worried about spending the money without trying them 1st.

Clearence is possibly going to be a problem Bud, rather you were able to check that particular issue out before parting with your money.
