The factory setup - 2001 Camaro SS. 17x9 275/40 ZR17 all the way around.

I want to know if i can clear 295/35 tires. I have 18x10.5 rims i ordered and the tire guy is sayin the tires wont fit (it will rub). I have seen 315's on SS's on a website (tho they had to flair out the wheel-well). In my mind if 315's will fit with some minor work, then 295's should fit fine. It is only 20mm's wider then what i came with stock.

I need to know for sure, no "it should" or "i don't think you will have an issue". Does anyone know FOR SURE if i can clear 295/35 ZR18 on a 10.5" rim for my rear setup???

They guy told me 275's will sit flush on an 10.5" rim. And i kno the rim will fit b/c the offset is made for the Camaro (Z06 replica wheels). But i went wider on the rim for a reason.

PLEASE ADVISE ASAP as i need to order the tires soon to get a deal on them.

I kno one of you guys know the answer. THANKS!!!!!
