Default ZR-1 Wheels

I am looking into getting these wheels for my Camaro. I know the site says they fit, but I was wondering if anyone has ran a wheel that wide in the rear? Thanks for any advice/opinions.

So with some 315, or maybe even 335 Nitto NT555R's out back, they would just bolt up, no issues with spacing/rubbing?

Thanks.

These wheels do weigh a ton and I do notice the diff, stock wheels feel a ton faster in my opinion.

I went with the 275 on all 4 want to get the 315 11" on the rear.

If you race and are serious about it there are lighter options but for looks and cost these are pretty good.

Yes, they are popular. But, if you want an 11" wheel and not spend a fortune, you are limited on what is out there. If and when OE ever comes out with the C5 in 11" I will buy those. It won't take long and I'm sure those will be everywhere also.

These would be for street use. I would use my current wheels for the track.
