ZR1 Wheels Fit And Looks I have a 1996 camaro Z28 not lowered. I am looking to fit ZR1 wheels 17x9.5 56mm 275/40/17 tires on front. And 17x11 50mm 315/35/17 on rear Sumitomo tires. Here many stories of big BFH on rear wheel wells and rolling outer lips and some people say the fit no problems. Will the combo fit or not. I do not want to roll outer lips . Or should i stick with 17x9.5 56mm 275/40/17 all the way around and is there any problems with fit on this combo. Like the l@@ks of the 315s on the rear great stance ,want to make sure they fit before spending the money to find out they do not fit. "Need some help"

You should be fine as long as you lift the car up from the rear end pumpkin.
Some people have no probs while some do because every car is not within the same exact spec.

since you're not lowered and you'll be using the narrower fitting Sumitomo 315's (I have them too) you should be okay without needing to roll/hammer fenders.
However, you might need an adjustable panhard bar to center your rearend properly to make sure both wheels are equal distance from inner fenders.
Hope this helps...

That combo fits fine on my car, and I'm sure you can make the combo fit no matter what car, but it might take an adjustable. PHB and BFH
By the way, sumitomos suck... i hope you don't like traction because you won't have any. They are good for the rain though and they will last a long time. If all you ever wanna do is burnouts and daily driving they are good, or a good show tire, but don't expect to win any real races.
Although, I did hit 12's with them on the car, but I would have hit much lower 12's with a better tire.
