Shouldn't be a problem, the main part its going to rub is where the frame rail ties in to the fender well at the bottom left (driver side, opposite on pass.) and the horizontal raised pieces of pressed metal above the bump stop. You'll need to knock them in as much as possible, its definitely doable though. I had BFG 315's that measured almost 13" across fit on my old 98 TA that was lowered almost 2 inches, and 335's on this car that is lowered about .5 inches.
The stickies have to do with the dimensions of the tires NOT the methods to make wide tires fit, read the thread.

With 17"x11"s there is always a possibility of needing the BFH and/or fender rolling mods with 315s. If lowered, an Adjustable Panhard Bar becomes a virtual necessity. Some have used the +38 offsets with an 11" wheel but it does stick outside the fender and is definitly not recommended on lowered vehicles. +50 and +56 are the two most common. +50 is the better fit (for the ZR-1 replica).

here is a pic of 19x12 with 325 run flats
these are true C6Z06 wheels. 1/8 spacer center rear and 300 lbs in rear to give lowerd look. the wheels measure out to be 26.5 instead of the typical 25.4

I had 11" ZR1s with the 50mm offset and 315s. My WS6 was lowered with the G2 Super Springs..which were roughly a 2" drop. I didn't have to touch a thing to fit them. They never rubbed anywhere, but every car is a little different.

Tons of guys run 9.5/11 TT2s and are lowered. I had 11" rims and was lowered atleast 2" on the rear and had no issues with 315s, even ran an extra 1/8" spacer and didn't rub the lip.
