I'm looking at the Blizzak DMVI snow tire for my Camaro...it currently comes in the rear size of 275/40/20 but not in the front size 245/45/20...they do have a 245/50/20...would it be alright to run the 245/50/20 on the font end without causing any damage?

 

all its going to do it make it a bit taller. the stock height is 28.68 and the size you will switch to(245/50) is 29.64 " tall. about .48" more of sidewall. use this web site and put in the stock tire size and the new tire size. it will show you the difference. it shouldnt be a big deal. http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit

 

I think my logic is sound when I say that clearance shouldn't be an issue, considering my car is lowered quite a bit compared to the increase in sidewall height and I am still fine.

However, note that your speed will be slightly off. I know there is a calculator out there somewhere that will tell you how much, but I cannot think of it at the moment.

 

link in post 2 will show you how much its off. clearance should be fine. my wheels are bigger than stock, in diameter and there is no issues.

 

Just checked, it, yup...good resource! Thanks for posting.
