I just got my 17x11 Billet Specialties I ordered the largest possible backspacing I could fit. 8.25" I even moved my bumpstop to inside my coil springs and shaved off the extra metal in the wheel tub. A straight edge layed against the wheel just touches the insides of my rolled fender lips! I can't imagine the 315 tires which are suppose to be 12.5" wide won't rub!

I have to work Friday night ;( I haven't been out in a long time. That's weird I just cut all my inner fender and used a hammer. And mine fit well. Also my buddy has 01 Camaro and he has the same rims as me, and runs 315 mt and had to cut some stuff away but still fits.

I measured mine last night just to make sure about the backspacing because I see your pictures and there is no disputing how tight they are on your car. Are you sure that those wheels aren't wider than 11"? They look great on your car btw.

yes
keep in mind that Birds have fatter wheelwells too.
jack up rear
place baseball bat (or pipe)
in between the tire and wheel well,put weight on it
roll the car backwards slowly while rolling the bat.
this is how we did it before the days of lip rollers.

Sorry to bust in on your tread but who makes those spring bucket adjuster gimmicks? I built my own 9 inch and one of my spring brackets must be off because the car sits funny.
