Default 315s on a C6 Rim?

Hey guys, I have the OE Corvette Backspacing on a set of C6 rims, I got the Hubcentric Spacers that LethalSS had...I believe it's like 1.25"...I plan on rolling the fenders. Do you think I could fit 315's back there with the setup? I would like to get as much meat back there as I can, since the 396 will get GMR Speed's TT setup....The car is lowered, and has all aftermarket susp. parts....Will be going Ford 9" soon (before the project is complete)

If the wheels are anything less than 10.5" wide, then NO.

They will fit but like mentioned above.... be sure you get the 10.5" width for them. I'm curious to see how well those spacers work out.

I think the BFG drag is a 315/30/18. At some point I'm going to take off my 19 rears and go with the 18X10.5's as well.

Sorry for the late post.... yes they will work without them but you have to do a lot of massaging to the inner fenders. Not a good shot but this is without the spacers installed and still at stock ride height.

i think that Nitto 555Rs in the 315 width would be fine on a 10 inch rim, becuase they arent really 315... they are more like 300

I have a 285 out back.... wanted to go wider but not much is offered in a 19". Like mentioned above, a 315 nitto would probably be your best bet if you would rather not use the spacers.
