I would not put it past GM to lie through omission on something like that.

Yes, putting taller wheels helps up to a point.
The over all #1 thing you can do to a 3rd generation Camaro like mine or firebird or T/A to increase the lateral skid pad G forces the car will hold is to put 17 inch wheels on it. But you still continue to run a 26 to 27 inch over all diameter tire (not exactly rubber bands).
You can go larger than 17 but it become hit or miss with that platform for some reason.
