Default need help on 315s
I plan on going from 17x11 315/35/17 to 18x10.5 315/30/18
will i have any fitting problems with the 18x10.5 315s??
I already rolled the fender and did some banging for the 17x11 315s i have on right now. Someone told me the inch taller rim will give me problems if i go 315 on the 18 inch rim.

will i be ok?

Thumbs up
With a +44 to +50 offset you should be just fine!

I think their z06s are 58mm offset...So you may need a small spacer.
