Default will CCW Classics 17x11 with 315 fit on rear?

before pulling trigger, will these fit on the back of a 4th gen f-body?

17x10 front offset is +50mm and backspacing is 7.5"
17x11 rear offset is +54mm and backspacing is 8.125"


all with 315 hoosier A6's.
Looking for people who have tried this exact combo.
CCW's are from T1 corvette.

I'm not 100% positive, but based on what I've read on other's experiences, wheels that will bolt comfortably onto a Corvette will require spacers for an F-body.

The fronts are good

The rears should work but may need some BFH-ing. If anything, you may end up needing a .25" spacer. For comparison, the 17x11 ZR1s many people use have a 50mm offset

I'm so confused about going with wide/wheels tires. The general idea is that you're gona need to roll fenders, bfh, and more. Then I read posts saying "I just threw mine on and they fit fine."

There are a lot of factors involved.
-Wheel offset
-Tire width (and brand, some tires run more narrow/wide than others even though they are said to be "315s"),
-Your car (every car is a little different, and TransAm's have wider fenders than Camaros).
You rear suspension setup (adjustable PHB/watts link? Control arms? lowered? stock/aftermarket rear axle?)

I am currently doing 315(hoosier a6) all the way around on a 17x11 with 50mm offset. With fenders rolled and bfh I need no spacer. I will probably add a 1/8 or 1/4 spacer just for peace of mind. I am putting a 3/8 spacer on front only to clear the nub on the spindle. I will most likely grind it off if legal in my class.

So the easy answer is YES. They will fit. Ordered my spacers today from Blaine fabrication. He makes great quality custom pieces if you end up needing some.
