Depends on the tire as well. Some 315s are skinnier than others. Mine took a small spacer and a tiny bit of hammering to get it to fit perfectly, but birds tend to have a bigger wheel well than the camaros.

I have Sumitomo 315/35/17s on my ZR1s. Car is lowered about an inch and they rub around tight turns. I have not done any BFH or fender rolling but I should BFH.

Front pair: 17 x 9.5 wheels with 56mm backspacing, 275/40 ZR17 98Y tires

Rear pair: 17 x 11 wheels with 50mm backspacing, 315/35 ZR17 102Y tires

Tires are mounted, balanced, and road force tested.

Wheels are CHROME ZR1 OE replicas

Tires are Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas
so with the above info, will i still need to do the bfh mod?
