has anybody been bold enough to have the stock 16 x 9s PROFESSIONALLY widen to say 16 x 11? I have a set and I wouldnt mind having it done. So whats involved? Spacers? Im extremly new to the wheels...

Just so you know, that tire is almost 2" taller then the stock tire. So, I'm not even sure if that would fit in the wheel well. It might, but it's probably going to be a tight fit.

The stock Z28, TA, and Formula wheels are 16x8. The WS6, SS, and Hawks use 17x9s.
If you really really like the salad shooter style and want something wider I would suggest running the 91-96 Corvette 17x9 Buzz Saws. If you search hard enough you can actually find the 91-93 17x11 ZR1 rear buzz saw wheels.
Or you can run the 88-90 17x9 Corvette shredder style wheels. Here are pics of both.
91-96

How much does it cost widening the rim out to an 11? It maybe close to the cost of just buying a new set of rims. Not only that, I cant imagine its easy finding a set of 315's for a 16in rim. Then again if you like that rim style and want it, go for it
