Does a 285 fit on an 11" rim? I would think that would be cutting it way too close and you might curb your wheels because there will practically be NO overlap. A 305 or 315 would probably be a better choice for the rears. As for fitting on a 3rd gen, I don't think so, but I am not an expert.

They will fit, but you will need spacers. Im selling a set of 2.5" spacers for a third gen to adapt the zr1 wheels, as i planned this swap myself. There have been many done on thirdgen.org, do a search there. I know one of them i saw had to roll the fender lip and "massage" the inner fender wells. But it looks amazing. Heres a pic:

In response to the tire ?.....I have 17x11 w/ 315-35-17 and the sidewall is practically flush with the lip of the rim...I would think that 285 on an 11" wheel would look like a mid 90's lowrider with the tire stretched across the wheel IMO....I wouldn't go with anything less than a 315 but that's just me.
