Default 315s on a Camaro???

Hi guys I was wondering what all has to be done to put wheels, such as the 17 x 11 inch ZR-1 wheels on to my car. I have heard things like "rolling" the fenders but I don't know what all this is. What all needs to be done to the car for it to work? What tools do you need? Where and for how much can you get this done? Thanks for any input.

Mine's lowered 1.5" with a 11" TT2 and a 315 nitto and had no problems other than removing the bumpstops. Usually a little work with a mallet on the inner fender well is needed.

Got 17 x 11 ZR1's on the rear of my SS and didn't do anything except bolt them up. Biggest thing to remember is to jack it up by the rear end because the 11's will get hung up on _____ (I have no idea what it is). Here's what they look like.

from my experience ive had both nitto and bfg 315's and the nittos are about 1-1.5 inch narrower meaning more clearance, i never had any clearance issuses with nittos ever the bfg were a different story.
