are you lowered? it depends what offset but im assuming you have zo6 wheels and mine are i think a 58mm offset.. could be 56 though.. i just had to bfh and use a spacer.. just get them you can make them fit.. its hard to know exactly what to do until you have them on the car so once you find the problem post again and well help you fix it

Do you have 10.5's in the rear? And by any chance are they the z06 wheels? I was lookin at those in 10.5 and need to know if they stick out at all. The guy told me I would need a 1/4 inch spacer tho.

Who makes a tire in 315/xx 18? I don't remember tire rack ever having that size, but I haven't looked in a while either. I would love to go up to 18's all around from the 17's I have now, but I want to keep the nice fat tires. Thanks in advance.

i have 18x10.5 Z06, in the rear. rear tires are 305/35/18,555r. had to use the bfh mod, no spacer for now, but i will probaly get a 1/8 spacer just so they won't be so close to the wheel well. tightest spot on mine is about 1/4-5/16. 315's will probaly be real close to the wheel well.

I know this is old, but what tires did you go with?
