Making 17x11's fit

So I want to put 17x11 TTII's on the back of my 95 Z. What size rubber should I go with and is there anything that needs to be done to make them big a$$ tires fit
Thanx

If your car is lowered you need an ADJ. panhard rod. But otherwise get some 315 Nittos and you should be fine.

You may also need to roll the fender lip inside the wheel well. I've heard that the Camaros have less room inside there than the Firebirds do.

Apparently though, this is hit or miss - some cars need it, and some don't. I did mine just to be safe...

good luck,
Shane

You have to jack the car up by the rear; not the frame. 315/35/17 is a standard tire for that size wheel.

When I got my 17x11 ZR1s/315s, I just bolted them on and never had any problems.
I am also lowered 2" on Jamex springs.
