Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

Just out of curiosity, what would be the widest tire I could fit in the back of a 3rd Gen Camaro. Figure in a 4th Gen rear end, lowering springs and 17" wheels.
Anyone happen to know this tidbit of info off hand?

well what rim are you useing and lowered how much?
Nothing yet, I'm just trying to gauge for later. Once I fix it, I'd like to lower it (1 or 2", whatever a decent set of springs'll do), and put on some nice rims (maybe chrome IROCs) and some fat tires in the back.

Should be room for 275's maybe 285's if you have the right offset wheels and roll the fender lip. I've seen pics of one with 315's but not sure if it was tubbed or what was done to it. If you're planning on lowering, I'd stick with a 275.

I know the 4th gen rear ends stick out a little further, would that give me a little more clearance for a wider tire (now it would be out a tad further)?

No....the 4th gen axle is about 2 inches wider per side....all that does is place the wheel mounting surface further out.....it will have no effect on how big of wheel you can fit up into the wheel house.
