Default Will 17x11 w/ 315 BFG Drags fit?

I have a 2000 SS and am looking at some 17x11 rims w/ 315 BFG Drag radials. I have heard 315 Nittos fit, but 315 BFG's will rub? What's the story. I don't want to mod anything to make them fit.

Dave based on my experience and what I've read, you will have to make some modifications. But they really aren't major at all. Also what mods you may need will depend somewhat on the offset.

Thank's. I think I'll pass on this deal. Has the rear come out of your car yet?

some 315's run larger than some other 315's, the NItto's run small, as compared to something like the GSD3's, which are extremely large.
