All F-body's seem to be a little different when it comes to tire fitment.
Some say that they bolted up 315's without ever having to lift up a hammer. Others are under there swinging away for hours just to get the same wheels/tires to fit... it's a crap shoot!
Regardless, you can make any 11" wide 315 series tire fit on our cars. Get an adjustable panhard bar, roll the fender lip (should be done whether it needs it or not), and then clearance with a hammer as needed.
Good luck!
