315's will fit, but will probably require some hammering of the inner fender, possibly have to roll the outer fender lip, you might need an adj panhard rod and there's a chance you'll have to shave the bump stops.

i put 11" zr1 with 315 DRs on my 99z...no mods or pounding required. i can reach my fingers all the way around the inside of the tire against the fender.
HOWEVER...
if you every plan to jack the car up using the frame...you will have to grind down the bump stops. they are not in the way for normal use, but when the axle drops when jacking up the frame, they will (could) damage the inside edge of the wheel/tire.
it's not a problem if you use the axle to raise the rear...but you never know.

11" with 315s MOST of the times will fit with no or little mods needed. From the factory each car is different so you will get yes and no's all day long from anyone on here. One thing that will help preventing any problems is an adjustable panhard rod. This will insure you can adjust the rear side to side as needed. IMO go for it

You should have no problems fitting them on with stock ride height. Its only when you lower it is when you need to do some major pounding, and rolling the fender wells.
