Yeah... my club pres has 17x11 ZR1s on his car with Nitto DR 315s and another guy in the club just got some 35th rims widened to 11s w/ Nitto DR 315s. Those will work.

Im not sure if you are on MOFBODY.com or not but there is a member on there that does fender rolling and hes in Raymore. He rolled the fenders on my buddies 2000 Z28 for his 315 Nitto/Torq Thrust combo. I think his screen name is just simply Derek but I know thats his name. A post in the KC Section will get you in touch with him.

Fender rolling is NOT hard, with a good roller and a heat gun. I had never done it before and it was really easy. Just make sure you take it slow and you'll be fine.
