My car is lowered, and I've heard people say that 17x11's wioth a 315 tire will rub on a stock height car. Is this true??

I think with the BFH method and a adjustable panhard rod to center the rear you'll probably be okay.Some with 315's want to help RGV out

also depends on how hard you drive into corners, if your racing into them, the car will have body roll, and it may rub a lil bit

My 02 Z has been lowered with 17x11 ZR1s 50mm offset in the rear...Believe it or not I did nothing and they fit w/o rubbing...Because my car is lowered it misses the bumpstops completely......Hope this helps..

Mine rubbed when I backed out of my driveway at an angle. A BFH took care of that.
