Default OE wheels

i just got a set of new OE grandsport style wheels and i was wondering if i would have any fitment issues with the rear wheels. i have a stock 99 z/28 and the rear wheels are 17x11 and i am running 315s. i was windering if they would fit or if i would have to use a spacer or something.

If your at stock height, you should be fine. You may have to do the BFH Mod, but I doubt it.

BFH depending on the width/brand of your tires

Big f***ing hammer!

So if lowered on say Strano/Koni's, what all would be needed to make the 17x11 to fit? I'm eyeballing a set of the deep dish ZR1's. Also should longer studs be run with these wheels?

Usually just beat the inner fender well (BFH mod) and roll the outer lip. Some have not had to roll the lip, but cutting a new 315 is not good.

I had to do the hammer mod on a stock suspension and 315/30/18's. It didn't rub after I put the adjustable panhard bar on the car.
