Default 315/35/17 Nitto Drag + lowered car....BFH?

I have an Eibach pro kit on my car right now and wanting to run a 17x11 with a 315 Nitto Drag. Is this do'able?

Wanting to go with the silver/polished lip ZR1's...

Heres a pic of the car.

If it's bad I'll put the stock springs back on it on the back with the hose mod.

You shouldn't have to BFH with Nitto DR's, it just depends on the wheels you go with though.

I got 17x11 ZR1's with BFG 315 d/r and had to BFH just a bit. Didn't have to roll my fenders either and those tires are pretty wide. I think the Nitto's are narrow for a 315.

my car is lowered about 1.5" and i'm running silver ZR1's w/polished lip and 315 Nitto DR's. I did BFH down in the front inner wheel well by the control arms. I didn't HAVE to do BFH but it was such a tight fit i couldn't put a finger between the tire and the wheel well (i didn't like it being that close) You won't need to roll your fenders.

Ur car looks perfect with the ws6 wheels! The 315 nitto dr runs really narrow comparable to a 295/305. The street tire runs wider though

I just want to change the look up some. I have known this car since it was new from when my buddy bought it new, and I'm tired of looking at these wheels on it lol.

The 315/35 Nittos for the 17" wheels are a true 308mm wide tire. Not ALL Nittos run small, but in this size, they do.
