11inches wide?
I had to beat the fender well, didn't roll the fender lips. You have a TA, so you have less problems than us Camaro owners. I also took out the bumpstop and trimmed down the bumpstop mounting tab.
Depending which tire you're running, you will probably encounter what's depicted in the picture abobe...tire rubbing the inner fender well. It's not big deal really, get a hammer, whack it some, spray some rubberized undercoating on it (you can buy that at any auto parts store), then drive around some more to see if the rubbing is gone...if not, whack it some more.
If you do remove the bumpstops like I did, just be extra careful driving, don't get the thing airborne...use your head, and don't drive like a mad man.

That is the set up I have.
I had to bang in the fender wells a bit and trim the bump stops but did not have to roll the fenders. I also had to grind a bit on the hubs to get the wheels to sit flush on the rotor. Time consuming but easy. I am lowered about an inch and a half as well.

By the way, how much are you lowered? Or maybe your exhaust is playing tricks on my eyes and just makes it look lower? Either way, your car looks sick!

I had 18x10.5 in the rear for awhile with the Eibach Prokit with minimal rubbing. When I put my 19x11 CCW's on the rear, I have never had a problem, even with two subs in the rear. The inner wheel well was alittle worn but with the 19's I have never had a problem. I have never had anyone in the back seats and I think the other wheels rubbed a groove for the new wheels.
Good Luck

My ZR1's came with the Dunlop SP8000's as well, I had to do a little hammering with those, but it wasn't too bad. When I switched to the current Yokohama AVS Sport, I had to do more hammering again, that's what you see in above picture.
My car is not lowered at all. It is a 98 and they tend to sit an inch lower than the 99 and up by about an inch. I just recently added a double adjustable rod ended Panhard bar from UMI Performance, and with the rear end centered perfectly, I haven't had any issues with the tires getting cut on the fender lips, a problem which I had before when hitting a severe dip in the road.
And yes...you have to lift the car by the axle/pumpkin to keep the suspension compressed, otherwise, the wheel will hang up on the bumpstop mounting tab and will be difficult to remove without compressing the suspension. That's the reason I trimmed those mounting tabs (as you can see in the second picture). In the first picture the car is sitting on the ground and the bumpstop assembly is untouched. In the second picture, the car is on a lift with the suspension at full droop and the bumpstop assembly has been removed and trimmed. You can see how close the clearance between the remnants of the the mounting tab and the tire is.
Oh...and that's not really my current license plate, that's just me trying to impress a girl who loves my car with my picture editing skillz!!
