M/T ET Street tire size question????

Would 26x10.5-16 fit on a 95 Camaro? Would it screw up the gear ratio to much? I have the stock gear ratio 3.42.
PS, My Camaro has Eibach 1.8" lowering springs

Thanks for any info.

Yes they will fit.might have to roll the fender lip since it is lowered.
Also they are about .5" taller than stock. So the gears will be slightly off.

Last year I used the 26x11.5x16" on my car (with Eibachs). I cut off the corner of the leading edge of the rear part of the wheel well to be sure of having clearance when the tire expands at speed. But the width required no clearancing at all (on an 8" rim).
