17x11 can be a tough fit on a lowered car. The 19x12 will take some work. I see a tub job in your future. If you go through with it, post some pictures.

BFH= Big F**ing Hammer. It's used to massage the inner fenderwells. Some have made the 17x11 with 315's fit with some springs. Stock springs, no problem. Lowered springs is pot luck with that big a tire. You will need the BFH mod at least. Wheel offset is also a factor. Just roll the lips and beat the inner fenderwell til it fits. You probably don't use the back seats anyway.

Think about this, I had trouble fitting my 19x11 on with 325 Nitto Invos (run a little smaller usually) and am now having more trouble now I am lowered. It's gonna be a bitch.

Its def not as bad as it's made out to be. Took me a couple hrs, big effin hammer, minimal grinding and some undercoat paint. Fits fine on My lowered car with no spacers. OEM C6 Z06.
