Default 17x11 zr1 fitment

Alright guy I have searched and searched prior to asking this question. I have bought the OE Wheels ZR1 wheels with the 50mm offset. They fit with no issue if I jack it up by the rear end so the suspension is loaded. this is an original 60thousand mile car and I don't really want to cut out the bump stops. I had to BFH the inner fenders a little and used undercoating to hide it. So my question is how many guys have ran these wheels without cutting out the bump stops and just lifted by the rear. I have seen a couple threads where guys have said they did it but wanted more than just two people. Any help would be great. thanks

This is how I raise my car (with 50 mm ZR1s) and I still have the full width bump stops. I'll back up onto my ramps and then jack the car from the axle. Before I let the axle down I take off the wheels so they won't hit the brackets. I've never really seen this as any sort of issue.

I could jack at the center of the rear housing without backing on ramps (stock height). BFH inner fenders just a little towards the front, adjustable panhard to center the rear and just ground off the excess metal hanging outside of the bump stops.
