SA residents only!! Is anyone willing to help me out and allow me to swap your 17x11's on my car to see if I would run into any problems since I got the prokit?? I want to buy new 11's but not sure since the car is low..

I had a few diff sets of 17x11s on my z28 when it had sportlines. It took a little bit of work*bfh, rolled the fenders etc, but it'll work. Maybe i'll go out to biffs tonight... you'll be out there for sure ward? I dont go often, bc I dont know anyone there half the time.
hey postman, what tires you running? i heard for the most part u can fit nitto 315 without any issues at all? thats one of the reasons i didnt want to go with 11's. too much work, and i dont have cash to keep blowing on 315's every 10k miles or so..
Sumitomo 315's....just got 2 of them for 220 shipped to my door new....can't beat that.....they have a 160 tread wear but don't hook well imo....but they do handle well and if you drive right you can get some miles outta them....the only thing i had to beat on was at the bottom of the fender well....it was like a little flap that got in the way of the tires...nothing major....few good wacks and it was good to go....

I'll be going with the sumitomos 315 more than likely due to cost but I might end up getting the BFG kdw's. Not sure yet.. Cheap nitto's although they hook I rather get an expensive tire that will double the life of the tire. Awesome thread pattern also!

nah man I wanted to swap the rears to get a feel if I need to do the "bfh" deal and to check if I'll be rubbing badly. Jus so I know what I'm looking at when and if I get em.
i know that one guys 94trans who was selling his 11 zr1 had sumis and said he had no issues. i heard sumis suck for traction, but then i hear its a good street/daily driver tire. i dont know man, your car looks good the way it does. looks really sharp. dont see too many SS like your here in SA anyways. but yeah thats why i didnt go with the 11's too much PITA just to make it fit and and also 315 are expensive..
