Oh yeah, the wheels will be AFS ZR1 replicas w/ a 50 mm offset w/ 315 Nittos.

I have the same 17x11 ZR1's with the 50mm grand sport offset (do not stick out like the ZR1 offset). I thought about lowering my TA but there's no way those tires will fit. I'm pretty sure they won't fit without doing some body work.

Here's a pic from the page below which has some good info:

Thanks a million for the pic. If I go this route, I will have the fenders rolled I guess. I know a guy that has a tool that hooks to the hub and rolls it to about 45 deg. I don't know if that will be enough, but won't cut the tires.
Thanks again, rodent for the most informative pic I could want!!!!!!!!
