Default 315mm tires
can you run a 315mm tire the same height as factory on the rear of a lowered 5th gen without rubbing or sticking out past the quarter panel? im looking into doing this on a 2014 1LE using the factory ZL1 rear wheels on the rear using pfadt lowering springs (1.25) drop. any info is greatly appreciated, or anyone with a 1LE could chime in and give me some info. thx for any help.

it's fine. I have them on mine. 315/35 is the right height aspect I think...I'll have to check.

It all depends on the rim/back spacing you're using. If you have ZL1/1LE rims, you should be ok.
