People with 255/50-16's come on in...
Is it worth the extra money to go from 235/55-16's to 255/50-16's? If there isn't no noticeable difference between the two then I'll just stick with the 235/55-16's.

Worth as in?
If you go with 255/50-16's all the way around, you have a very good chance of having the tires rubbing fenderwells in the front.
Therefore why not go w/245-50-16's? Those are the correct one size up anyway?.

Ya, but i bet they still look good on a v6. I am thinking about getting 255's on the back and probably 245's up front, not really sure what tire though..thinking maybe BF goodrich kdw's or something...i need a street tire that will give me great traction...the only problem here is it is raining like its vietnam in the rainy season here.

A friend of mine has 245/50/16 Kumo Esta 711's on his 95 firebird 3.4L... and we just went on a 1053 mile road trip and they were perfect, great handling and great rain traction. when they get hot, they get nice and sticky... but still, great tread wear too. for 56 bucks a piece, you cant beat it.
and they look mean as hell too... used to be able to bark second with the shift kit, and now with these tires, no more spin.

I don't think it would be a problem either, 275s are on the SSs and they have no problem. IMO fat tires make the Camaro look really good especially from behind, which is hopefully the view most people get.
