when i need to put new tires on i'm contemplating stay with 295's or go with 315

I dont think you will have to roll the fenders. I had that size on my T/A and did not have to modify anything.

looking good john! Both rims look good but those z06 give it a more aggressive look IMO. Definitely gonna look good with the 295's though!

I dont think you should have to roll the fenders though. Should clear with no problems.

Those look good. My brother had some Speedline C5 Z06s on his red SS and I thought they looked awesome. I'm still waiting for my BFG KDW2s to get here so I can put my set on but I think I might just paint them black.

By the way, you might have to do the BFH mod. He was still running the stock Goodyear Supercars and they run wide, so he had to pound the fender wells. We rolled his fenders but it was just for the **** of it.

You may need to if the axle isn't sitting in the center since it is lowered. I don't really think you'll need to. Did u do a test fit with the rims and tires?

do you have a adjustable panhard bar? since your car is lowered it might help to center the rear. I need to get one also
