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!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Won't you get a lot of sidewall rubbing with a 275???
Well with a 275 on a 16x8 wheel you will have a lot of tire bulging. The reason you might be able to run a 275 on a 15x8 rim is because its going to have more sidewall than a 16 inch rim so the tire will bulge less and have less of a chance of coming off the rim.
When you start going to a wider wheel you can run up to 295 with no clearance issues and some even get 315's on there depending on the brand.
here is a pic of mine with a 26/11.50/16 et street on stock TA wheels
many people run them instead of 26/10.50/16s
I have ran 1.4X 60 foot times with them
I believe a 275 requires 9-9.5 for safety. The factory 17's are 9 with the 275 standard. People moving up to 305's and 315's need a 10-11 usually. Not saying it won't work but it is not recommended. Those are a 35 or 40 series tire also.
