u mean 10.5"? dont think they made an 11" Z06. Whethwe it rubs or not will all depend on ur offset and tire size. Im runnin +53 mm offset with kumho 295/35 and it was like a mm away from rubbing when it was jack up but when we sat it back down it gave plenty of room. no rubbing issues yet

Is this while the car is jacked up and the axle is allowed to "hang" if so you are worried about nothing . . . .
