17x11 update Well i got my new Zr1 17x11's in the rear and didn't notice any problems at first but now i notice that if i turn hard or hit a big bump the inside of the rim hits that thing with the rubber bumper on the botton that keeps the car from bottoming out. So last night i went out to try and grind it down a little and jacked the car up from the side BIG NO NO the rim actually won't fit on like it should because when you jack the car up anywhere besides the diff. that bump stop thing jamms against the rim 
so i ended up putting a jack stand under the diff and lowering the car just to get the wheel back on. My jack was to little to lift the car by the diff so i went out to walmart and bought a quicklift 3ton car jack that thing is awesome. lifts the car by the diff with no problem. I also have some tire rub on the inside body of the car and the paint is starting to come off now i'm planning on beating those spots in a little but does anyone know what i should put over the spots that lost all that black tar stuff?

UHM . . . Everything that you are complaining about has been discussed over and over and over about putting 11" wide ZR1 wheels on a Camaro.
I can't beleive tha thte wheel is contacting the bump stop during driving unless you are doing Dukes of Hazzard jumps.
Yes the tire is going to rub the inner wheel well thus the BFH mod.
Yes you CANNOT jack the car up byt the frame or the wheel will rest on the bump stop. Thus you MUST jack the rear of the car up by the "pumpkin".

BFH cures all! You can also take the metal spacers out from above the bumpstop. It is very easy to do. Just unscrew the two screws and the metal spacer will come off then just put the rubber bump stop back on with the two screws and you should not have a problem with the bumpstop!
