I am sure he did. As far as ZR1 wheels go, the 50mm offset is the one that tugs the wheels in closest. The 36mm offset would be further out and he wouldn't have to do near as much hammering.

Finally got the rims and tires on today and everything fit perfectly. The 315's in the rear don't rub on anything of coarse cuz i have the sumitomo's. Didn't feel like waiting for the GS-D3's in my size to get back in from being on backorder. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

Im getting my GSD-3's from UPS today. I hope I wont have to roll the fenders. I see that some people have to, and some can get away without rolling them.

Are you lowered? My car is at stock height, but still sits an inch lower in the back than my buddys 99 Z28 which is also stock as far as suspension goes. The 1" lowering from the factory must have been a no cost option in 98

Either way, if you're not lowered, and don't have a panhard bar, then that might be the ticket to avoid having to roll the lips.

YESSS!
At least there is some faith. I got the tires today and they are HUGE.
I am at stock ride height and still have the stock panhard rod so hopefully all will be well.
Thanks for the input.

And yeah...the tires always look huge when the UPS guy brings them, but our cars always manage to make them look "smallish"
So if you got some slicing and dicing going on...call up UMI and get the double adjustable rod ended panhard bar...it worked wonders for me!

I don't know why people are so afraid of rolling their fenders. It's not hard, people. Rent a roller and a heat gun and set aside about an hour and do it. It's better than having your sidewall sliced open on a big bump.
