Default ZR1 17X9.5 & 17X11 Few Questions

ZR1 Rims
Front 17 x 9.5 / 56mm
Rear 17 x 11 / 50mm Hub

Would them fit on my formula without adding spacers ect..

What best tire size for the 17X11's? without rubbing

Well, I've got 17x11 ZR1s on my Camaro, which supposedly has a smaller wheel well than the 'birds. I'm also lowered with a Pro-Kit and do not have a adjustable panhard bar. I needed to do a decent amount of pounding on the inner wells but the tires don't even come close to my fenders. Look around on here, there's a lot of info on the topic.

I had ZR1 on my camaro with 11's out back and GSD3 and it looked sick. You will need an Adjustable PHB to center it better.
