BFH mod or no?
well i recently put a set of 17x11 wheels with 315 size tires. i just purchased the eibach pro kit. what im wanting to know is if everything will clear okay or if i will have to hammer the piss out of my rear fender well. does anyone have experience with this combo?

Light Pewter Metallic- 2001 Camaro SS
"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)."Last edited by 2001camaroSS; 02-22-2011 at 05:11 PM.

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.

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.
