Rear Tire Width
What is the widest tire you can put on the back of a 6th gen Camaro SS?
Mine came with Continentals but they sucked. I never could get any traction. I switched to Nittos and they are better but I don't think I got the right ones. I'm going to the G2 next time. I now have a Magnuson 2650 installed with water/meth injection and it breaks loose at 60mph in 4th gear.

11in is the most common. I guess you could fit a 12in but it'll poke a lot.
Based off your mod list the G2's won't hold that power. You'd want the 555R2 if you're going with Nitto's. Edit: Didn't realize you were asking tire width. Nitto's run narrow, I went with 315 on my R2's and they're close to a 305. |

I have Michelin PS4S tires, rears at 315/30/20, and it hooks from 60mph when the tires are warm enough. I'm sure you have more power, though, so why not try those Nitto 555RIIs that the high horsepower ZL1 guys swear by.

I have 325's in the rear. Toyo R888r and they hook pretty good.

They do look about the same, nice looking set up. I don't get any rub at all in back. Well see what happens when I lower it.

You might want to relocate the wiring by the drivers side rear on the inside as that is where any rubbing will probably occur.
There is a write up here on how to do that |

The wider rear tires the better especially with a supercharger.
