Default what to do about wheels........

i want to get some wider rims for the back, to fit bigger tires, but my car is lowered, and i have read some stuff about 315's not fitting if it is lowered because the tires are too tall. im not too sure about the tire stuff/wheel stuff. but my car is lowered one inch (hotchkis) and i want some wider tires. anyone have any suggestions on what will fit width and height, and what size rims would be best. can i fit 315's? also, i am pretty ify on this, but i heard something about getting your original rims widened. anyone else heard of this. it sounds kinda fishy, but if it works, i would be willing because i like the ZR-1 style SS wheels. and would want to stick to something like that. or is there anyplace that sells wheels in pairs that i could get a set of wider ones just for the back. sorry about all of the questions, just curious. thanks <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> josh

Dont worry about rubbing. I had 17x11 zr1s on the back of my ss and its lowered 2" with Eibach Sportlines. No rub...just gotta buy the right offset. Call me if you need any help.

i dunno how that'd work...i mean, they'd have to heat up the wheel and pull it, or just slice it, and put in a new piece it seems. I wouldnt mess w/ that, spend the extra coin, and get a better quality job. I know $$$ is a problem, im sure, but i wouldnt want any of my vehicles, sittin on something like that.
