I didn't have any problems really. The tire place I went to had a bit of trouble at first fitting the rear rims because they jacked up the car the wrong way apparently but they got it to fit perfect when they corrected it. Running 275s and I haven't had any issues with rubbing. I'm stepping up to 295s soon.

i did only once in a small area and it didn't do much. so instead of beatin the **** out of my car i put 1/8 inch spacers on and now i don't rub at all . . . why beat your car with a hammer when you can just put spacers on and be done with it??? don't go 1/4 inch from what i've been told, people have to replace studs at that point so i think 1/8 inch is just perfect and it looks alot meaner with the tires sticking out the much i'll tak a pic when i get home on thursday and you can see

1/4 is safe to do on stock studs..anything else is just too risky.
i got my oem z06s on my dropped z28 and with 315 toyo drag radials which run real wide.
just for the best look and stance i went with a 7/16 spacer and rolled the fender longer wheel studs not the cheapest route but cleanest looking in my opinion so i can get tire and fender as flush as possible
btw sorry to rain on your parade King NOthing but 7/16 spacer and 315s make it look lol
you should try 1/4 it would look better and its safe.
