Default Lowered T/A widest wheel

So my '98 T/A has eibach lowering springs (1 1/2") and its pretty low. I currently have C4 ZR1 wheels all around 9.5" on 285 size tires and on hard turns it rubs the inner wheel well a little. I'd like to get the same wheels but put 11" wide on the rear so I can put 315s on it and my brother claims I have to cut the bump stops. Can I or can I not put a 11" ZR1 wheels in the back as it sits or no. on the ws6 store they have c4 zr1 wheels 17x11 with a 50mm offset and im very tempted. I would love you guys' input!

I love the deep dish look of the wider wheels.

Im running 315 wide on racestar 10.5 wheels lowered on BMR springs. I modified the bumpstops and gave some love to the inner fender area to clear

I am betting you may have more issues with the slightly wider rim/offset combo.

Maybe roll fenders to save tires but no you don't have to cut bumpstops off. Just jack car from the pumpkin and you'll be fine. I'm lowered on 17x11 +50 and 315s. Still have bumpstops, no issues
