Tire Height
What is the tallest tire a 2001 Z28 take? I would like to try something around
a 245/55/16, 250/55/16 or a 255/55/16. I am not sure any of these are even
available. Thanks Tom

245/55/16 - height of 26.6"... an inch over stock...
250/55/16 - 26.8"...close to the above
255/55/16 - 27" would look like a truck tire and throw your spedo off...way off
but honestly WHY are you looking for these sizes?? did you just randomely put together numbers?
i ran 255/50/16 on my salad shooters, they were 1/4" bigger than stock height wise...and the tire was known to be "narrow" treaded...so i went a little bigger on the tire.
the 55 part is what makes the tires taller...stick with a 50 series...
