Question 18x11 wheels on a C4

My current setup is 17x9 all around (stock I believe). If I get 18x9 up front and 18x11 in the back, will the rear tires fit nicely without sticking out?? I'm pretty sure the tires would measure 315. If so what kinds of modifications to the fender wells are safe/available? I am planning to get ZR1 wheels and tires.

Cool, someone from Boise. I used to be in valley corvettes. I race a c4 with the 17 by 11 zr1 wheels and have no problem.
for the fronts 9.5 and 285 is about all you can go with stock offsets. I live in eagle by the way.

Being in this club has been a lot of fun. Do you race at the club challenges at Firebird? Man I freaking live for those events . Someone else in the club has an 87 TPI auto and he has the 17x11s, but he told me that the LT1 body is a little different and may need modification to fit the wider tires. BTW I'm in Southwest Boise.
