without the offset its really hard to say. I believe there are two different offsets for the 17X11s. one offset clears the 315s with no problem and the other doesnt

ok i will see what i can find out

edit 38mm offset

"17"x11" Wheels

ZR-1 Style for Camaro +50 mm (Known as Grand Sport offset)
ZR-1 Style fo Firebird +36 or +50 mm The wheel well on the "bird" is a little wider.

With 17"x11"s there is always a possibility of needing the BFH and/or fender rolling mods with 315s. If lowered, an Adjustable Panhard Bar becomes a virtual necessity. Some have used the +38 offsets with an 11" wheel but it does stick outside the fender and is definitly not recommended on lowered vehicles. +50 and +56 are the two most common. +50 is the better fit (for the ZR-1 replica)."

ok Your avatars look like your talking back and forth with yourself. I had 17 x11's on my 2002 and had to roll the inner fender lip.

haha. were you lowered?

[FMBL]

Yes it was lowered. It was all done when I bought it. The rearend had to be angled quite a bit before it rubbed. The driveway at my house at that time put it to the test. Most normal every day driving even with two people in the back seat I had no problems.

Not sure if you already plan on this, but get an adj. panhard rod to recenter the rear. When I put prokits on my car, I wasn't told about this initially and couldn't figure out why one side was rubbing the outer portion of the tire.

It was square after lowering it? Thats pretty impressive...good luck with the tires, 315s look killer.
