Mine were actually widened so they dont stick out on the sides. I prefer them to sit flush with the fender.

What was widened?I would much rather have it flush also. What modifying did it take to get your 315's to fit?

The rear wheels were widened from 9" to 11". It didnt take much to get them to fit, had to hit a 1" spot in the inner fender where they rubbed on the drivers side, after that everything worked fine.

You send them somewhere to get widened I take it?So stuck out the same outside, and brought it all in the inside. I wanted to get new rims, so possible buy 17/9's or so and get them widened?How much something like that run?

There are numerous threads on it if you check out the wheel and tire section. Blake why not get some chrome or powdercoated wheels?

Eh, I thought about it, I just haven't seen anything that jumps out at me right now that I'd really want. I may get something different in the future. The 17x11 WS6's will do for now, easy to clean and very light.

I havent experienced any cutting of the tire, only rubbing I did feel was at high-speeds when I hit a pretty big bump on the highway.

I've got the 36.5mm offset, but that's a little much for a camaro, they will stick out.

I cut a tire within a month! I was backing out of a parking lot and the road was uneven and the sidewall went right into the fender lip. I took the car to my bodyman and had the fenders rolled.

An adj panhard bar would help center the rear, but I don't think it needs it as it's within about an 1/8 of an inch as it is.
