I was wondering if you can have ZR-1 17 x 11 on the rear and still lower the suspension by an inch?

You can, I've got 17x11 w/ Nitto NT555 315's...I have springs, heater hose mod for the lowering aspect. It took a lot of hammering and getting adj. LCA's also helped free up some room. An adj. panhard rod is also needed.

Thanks for the info, how much have you lowered yours?

I don't know exactly, but its more than an inch total between the springs and the heater hose mod.

like ECU_Pirate said yes you can.

im lowered 1.25" on strano springs and have no rubbing issues.
just make sure that if you lower your car to get an adjustable pan har bar to center the rear end.

I've got 17x11 ZR1s with Sumitomo 315s. Lowered an inch or so, stock panhard bar, stock LCAs, no BFH needed, have not rolled the fenders or trimmed the bumpstops. No issues yet, although I'd like to roll the fenders eventually just to be safe.

I lowered mine and I have 17x11 with a 315 rear. Its not a problem, I did have some rubbing up front on the inside fender well, so I did ad a 5/16 spacer. This really made the car look even better. In my opinion any way. Either way it will fit fine.

Yes sir. Mine is lowered about an inch on 17x11s with 325/45 M&Hs on them.

I picked up an inch n width going with the 315 Nitto 555 over the Sumis I was running previously. I'm getting my fenders rolled as its no longer avoidable.

I thought I read somewhere that the Nittos were one of the most narrow 315's you could buy? Reason im sayin, is im trying to figure out which tires to go with on my 11's..

The 555R (drag radial) runs narrow. The regular street radial 555's I was very very pleased with and a good bit wider than the Sumis.

Edit: In addition to needing to roll my fenders now...I had to get the BFH out again and pound on the fender wells more. Haha

Post a pic of your car. I have been looking at that tire size. Thanks

That looks good. I like how it fills the fenderwell. I hope the 295/45's I'm getting will look similar, but not require rolling my fenderwells.
