Largest tire on vert. rear
i run a set of 315 nittos on 17x9.5's. I used to run 285's and had to use the LFH for a little bit of rubbing. There are some on here running 315's all the way around in a vert. I run a 15 x10 drag lite witch I had to make room for, cutting the bump stops off, and a little bit of massaging...but nothing major.....

LOL...LFH
standard zo6 replica offset? I have 17x11 zr1's with 315 35 17 bfg drag radials....
I have to roll the fender, bfh the inner fenderwell and put adjustable lca's on it to clear without rubbing but im also slammed as low as can go basically.....You just need to think about what kind of tires you are going to run. The bfg's are a wider tire than say the 315 sumusuto....spelling i have no clue but i know they are almost a inch on each side smaller than bfg so dont think all 315's are the same. I have a friend lowered running a c6 z06 wheel with 345 40 19's on it and no rubbing but he is having to run an inch spacer as well.
Personal exerience on prior posts tho, verts do have a smaller fender well....due to making room for the top to go down and still make a somewhat usable trunk and rear seat. I have seen both and althought not a big difference, there is one.

I chickened out
I ended up sending the 305 DRs back and ordering a set of Nitto 295/35/18 NT05s. I didn't plan on draging to often + i only have a 10 bolt...so i thought a little less tire will be easier on my weakest link. And i know the NT05s will go in with no wheel well mods.
